August 11, 2014 - AAC Commish Aresco meets Fitts & Dickson

If the press conference starts at 1:30 CDT, but the event starts at 12:30 CDT, is the Yulman tour going to be streamed live in its entirety as well? I hope so!

It now looks like, according to the Tulane website, that the press conference is the only thing viewable on the web. Hopefully some on the tour of Yulman will post video. And the Presser starts at 1 PM not 1:30.

EDIT: Typical Tulane Athletic Dept. They announce a press conference for 1:30 CDT. Then they have a counter on the Tulanegreenwave.com website counting down to a 1 PM start. It counts down to zero and then flashes a message that says "Please wait for the broadcast to begin". I'm assuming it will begin at 1:30!

ROLL WAVE!

I don't see or hear anything?

DfromCT · Mon Aug 11, 2014 1:34 pm

Me neither. More typical Tulane Athletics under RD, they're late, even for the 1/2 hour after their clock counted down "official" starting time. Or the stream has simply failed.

twits with quotes from all invoved...but zero video

golfnut69 · Mon Aug 11, 2014 1:41 pm

just goes to prove that ole Tulane did not use the P principle before the news conference began...like testing the equipment to make sure it works...or even pressing the "on" power at the power source

mbawavefan12 · Mon Aug 11, 2014 1:44 pm

Can't pull off a simple stream. I shutter to think of the screw up that will take place over the next 4-5 months.

DfromCT · Mon Aug 11, 2014 1:47 pm

I wonder what's going to go wrong on 9/6? The scoreboard not work? All the restaurants powering up at once short them all out? Water fountains contaminated? It's going to be something, that you can count on.

Typical Dickson.

President Fitts : Dickson screws up again, angering alumni, fans, students and the curious general public.

Another indicator of why Dickson fell $20,000,000 short of his fundraising goal.

Commissioner Aresco; Do whatever it takes to get Dickson fired; he is an embarrassment to the AAC, to Tulane and to himself. Everything Dickson touches turns to sh**.

twitter is not twitting anymore !!!!

mbawavefan12 · Mon Aug 11, 2014 1:51 pm

Not even kidding, my 8 year old niece just did a live stream of a fundraiser she put together for a sick classmate....ALL BY HERSELF!!

Presiden Fitts....please bring back computer science as a major...maybe this would not happen

golfnut69 · Mon Aug 11, 2014 1:54 pm

Quick !!!! call the geek squad at Best Buy for emergency service

nawlinspete · Mon Aug 11, 2014 1:54 pm

Dickson could not set fire to a paper bag with a gross of matches. He is totally incompetent.

OUG · Mon Aug 11, 2014 1:56 pm

Tulane livestreams events on all access all the time. Not sure why they had to switch the platform.

BTW supply and demand is winning out. CS is seeing a big increase in enrollment, despite the fact that dumb@ss Cowen tried to get rid of it.

As others have noted, streaming video online is something the average high schooler can accomplish.

golfnut69 · Mon Aug 11, 2014 1:59 pm

Ricks...closing remarks resemeble "if you do not like what you hear, walk across the street"

JerseyWave · Mon Aug 11, 2014 2:06 pm

Couldn't watch the presser. WTF! Followed comments on Twitter. Aresco, "Rick Dickson and I have been friends for 25 years." WTF! No way this is possible. Tulane needs a new AD!

Rick Dickson said #Tulane will pay full cost of attendance and will adapt with the rules as they change.

Carville really bailed Rick out in the most under-dressed department

Dickson says a lot of things; but he does nothing.

He has zero credibility; and he has earned that rep all by himself.

FIRE DICKSON YESTERDAY.

#Tulane president Mike Fitta says athletics is one of big areas that attracted him to the school and expects excellence.

That is great news. On what date is President Fitts firing Dickson ?

And with Aresco knowing Dickson for 25 years that is the polite way of his saying he has seen Dickson fail at University of Tulsa, Washington State University, and Tulane University.
