Re: FOOTBALL TRANSFER PORTAL 2023

The recent trend has been for the courts to treat college athletes the same as employees in the free market/private sector. So where does it end? Walmart is not required to fire an employee after four years. Why shouldn’t college football teams be allowed to play anyone as long as they are enrolled ...

Re: WAVE WIN

I lack a strong opinion on Will Wade but I wonder if any of his LSU behavior would be considered rule-breaking in today's NIL world. A couple days back, someone on this forum compared the value gained if Tulane offered a single 5-star player (Malachi Nelson) several million dollars versus spending t...

Re: Sumrall Era Begins

The majority of contributors to the Troy football forum had a very low opinion of Craddock... similar to the view most here had of Slade Nagle.

Re: Virginia Tech Beats Tulane 41-20- Military Bowl

Congratulations to the players who finished the year in spite of some very challenging circumstances. Thanks for the memories… there were more good ones than bad.

Excited to see what we do under coach Sumrall. I’m really looking forward to 2024 football #RollWave

All those missing bowl game practices could have helped. Slade Nagle probably spent the time watching Barbie, the movie.

Two words of advice for Slade Nagle: Makhai Hughes

Fewer QB designed runs also seems smart.

Re: Willie Fritz official to Houston

The prevailing opinion on this forum is that Willie Fritz will coach Houston with (at best) pedestrian results. I would put the over/under for his Houston tenure at 3 seasons. Assuming that is close to fact, Willie would leave Cougar U. at age 64 with a few years left in a mostly untarnished career....

For sale or trade: bobble head doll of current Houston football coach wearing a Tulane cap and shirt. Fair condition… slight recent damage which may or may not have been caused by throwing darts and other foreign objects at the bobble head. Quite rare.

Re: Tulane Going To Annapolis Military Bowl

Why is it inappropriate for Sumrall to coach the VT game? Disrespectful to players? Disrespectful to remaining coaching staff? Disrespectful to Troy? Ignorance of our currrent system and players? Contractual issue?

Anyone have an informed opinion?

Of course! Keep in mind that the fed and the NC2A require the contract include a $0 buyout….for the student athlete’s protection.

Tampering is now out of control. And I bet the courts will allow it. https://cbs-sports.app.link/nEYFtB1ABFb I agree with you. It seems that the courts will allow anything that is legal in normal business practice. For example, why should recruiting another team’s starting QB be different than a he...

I think it was both. Dannen spoke openly about not being willing to hold someone back from a better opportunity. I think they both knew that the 2022 season and what would transpire in 2023 with a weak schedule was their tickets out of Tulane . Not exactly looking out for your employer's best inter...
