Re: UMASS game moved

We did it for the money, in case anyone was wondering. Original contract cost Tulane 50k (350k garuntee for playing in Gillette, 400k payout to UMass in 2016). With the relocation there is a 100k swing in our favor. Tulane gets 400k, pays 350k in 2022. So the series is now profitable instead of a n...

Re: UMASS game moved

100K is chump change in today's world of major college football. Just another example of how narrow minded Rick Dickson was and how destructive he was to the Tulane athletic brand. This game should have been played in Starkville, Mississippi! Errr... TD was the one who made this move for chump chan...

Re: 2015 AAC Baseball Tourney Thread

This pitcher Rankin pitcher can not pitch. He cost us a NCAA bid hitting hitters and loading the bases to give East Caolina with an easy win. Gotula is the best thing that has happened to Tulane. The only thing better would be to fire or retire Rock Dickson. Fitts has been in office for a year and ...

Re: Tulane cancels football game with Mississippi State

I agree 100%. And it seems the board is either happy with having less than mediocre teams in the big revenue sports or blind to the fact that we aren't committed to anything better. They have a legal, fiduciary duty to ensure otherwise. No, they don't. They do have a fiduciary duty, but I wanna see...

Re: Tulane cancels football game with Mississippi State

No, it doesn't mean that at all. You do need a law degree to understand what fiduciary duty means, because its a legal term of art. The lay definition of the words have nothing to do with their legal effect, because they have been interpreted over literally thousands of years of jurisprudence. Star...

Re: Tulane cancels football game with Mississippi State

All the board has to say is they did their due diligence, and they believe this strategy will bring the best chance of the highest possible rate of return.

And baring some outrageous fraud or self dealing, they win and you lose.

Re: Tulane cancels football game with Mississippi State

And meanwhile, #3Tulane is beating #6UCONN in the AAC baseball tournament 3-1 top of the 9th. We have a legit NCAA post season team on our hands this year. Enjoy it.

If you like complaining about something all day, get married.

Re: Tulane cancels football game with Mississippi State

If it's UMASS don't blame Dickson blame Aresco. The AAC has been flirting with UMASS as a possible expansion to give UCONN a natural rival. You need to get them on AAC schedules to see if they can hack it. If it turns out that way I'd say check the books for a matching 350k check from the AAC to Tul...

Re: Tulane cancels football game with Mississippi State

I can confirm the 2017 opponent will be the Oklahoma Sooners. 100% no way the Sooners pay us 1.2 Mil to open at home when they could offer us 700k and still beat our current market rate for P5 road games. We needed to ditch MST to make this happen. Yeah, that might sound crazy, but capitalism is cr...

Re: Tulane cancels football game with Mississippi State

In talking to people affiliated w/both programs it appears it won't be Ole Miss in 2016. Also in talking to people and following the current events it appears likely the series we are creating room for is the long mentioned Rice series that RD wants. That would be really, really bad.

Re: Lets show some pride

I agree with you but first let Dickson retire now. Wins are wins. If you think Dickson means less wins fine, that means less tips. But if we build some buzz around this and demonstrate a positive correlation between winning and donations, that makes winning a higher priority. Which means ADs who de...

Lets show some pride

So I never told anyone about this, but a recent back and forth about the business aspect of Tulane got me thinking...

I tip the Tulane Athletics Fund $5 for every win I watch. It's not much, but it probably adds up.

Anyone else in?
