The latest update from Tulane:

"Our student-athletes are an integral part of this plan. We want our athletes to carry the torch, face, and name of Tulane University during this difficult time and we have worked out an arrangement within the context of the plan described above. This is made possible once again with assistance and generosity from colleges and universities – those in Conference USA and those outside of the conference - who have generously offered to help keep our teams together by providing not only academic opportunities but also practice facilities, playing facilities and general support."
Excerpt from co-op agreement:
"Admit students only on a visiting or provisional basis, so that they remain students of their home institution;
Do not charge tuition if the student has already paid tuition to the home institution; and if the student has not paid the home institution, charge the home institution's rate of tuition and remit that amount to the home institution;
Certainly other fees, including room and board, would be charged by the host institution as appropriate.
We realize that every institution must decide for itself how to handle this unprecedented influx of student refugees, and that some state laws could make some of these financial arrangements difficult. However we also know – as former presidents and chancellors – how each of us would feel if put in the same disastrous situation. We urge our member institutions, to the best of their ability and in keeping with state and federal laws, to abide by these principles as they seek to help these students. We hope each of our member institutions will hear the call for help from their Gulf Coast colleagues, and find ways to honor these important financial requests as they continue their unprecedented efforts to help.
