Yes. What a disaster for our coaches. This story isn’t over. More to come.
Now that it’s public may need to move some of my posts from Eddie Smith to here. I’ve been holding this quiet for a week.

Yet another self inflicted wound by Tulane to the Athletics Department. Doesn't anyone know how bad this looks and hurts our recruiting?

Test score above NCAA below Tulane. I can’t really go beyond that. Just imagine you sign in Nov 2018 and you’re told all is good and you find out two weeks before school you’re denied.
This isn’t over more to come. But he’ll not be attending Tulane.
Sad thing any potential California pipeline is now closed. Wouldn’t at all be surprised to see this litigated to get to the bottom of why this happened.

Do you really believe this ever happens in basketball or football?

I was worried this was about football for a second. Since it's baseball, IDGAF.

TPS, what are score requirements for a baseball player for Tulane?

This is pathetic. U r utilizing so much of Tulane’s small amount of athletic space on baseball. Either all in or all out. Currently baseball seems to be stuck in purgatory.

We've been told many times by many different posters on this forum that Tulane now accepts athletes at the same NCAA minimum standards all D1 schools are held to. Is that only true for certain sports now? Can we possibly put more obstacles to success in the way? WTF?

Scholarship players need only NCAA minimum of 18 ACT with exception. Non-Scholarship need at least a 27 for admission. Campbell was getting a big scholarship to come.
In the past we had a total of 25 exceptions at our coach knew ahead of time if he had one available. Once the request was made it was granted. We’ve been told that Tulane now admits NCAA minimum for any scholarship athlete today.
Here you have a player that turned down $750,000 because he was told he’d be accepted into Tulane. And it was our top recruit that’s a two way player. He can’t be replaced. Sad deal.

When Rick Jones was coach Tulane Athletics had a total of 25 exceptions at that time. Coach new ahead of time if he had one available. Once the request was made it was granted. We’ve been told that Tulane now admits NCAA minimum for any scholarship athlete today apparently that’s not the case.
Here you have a player that turned down $750,000 because he was told he’d be accepted into Tulane. That’s a big liability on someone’s part at Tulane. Either the person that said so or the person that denied admission. Either way both are Tulane people in official capacity. The biggest problem is the word is already out on the street in the baseball community we’ve lost a ton of credibility with this blunder. It can’t be allowed to happen again. And it was our top recruit that’s a two way player. He can’t be replaced. Sad deal.
So TPS, apparently we have a different rule for baseball? He qualified as a “scholarship athlete” under our rules, correct? We all know most of our football and basketball recruits don’t have a 27 or higher on the ACT?

Reading TPS’s last post was gut wrenching. My goodness, how is this allowed to happen, I feel bad for this kid. This sucks. Someone needs to publicly speak out on how this crap happened. Unacceptable. Unacceptable.

If the kid turned down $750,000 to come to Tulane, then is told he doesn’t qualify, I’d be a Little worried about a lawsuit.

All you Fitts supports, where is Fitts on this? Same ole same ole. Fitts is no different than Cowan the info here is correct. Forget about firing TJ, he will leave on his own when the chance happens. Good luck with your next hire. Have recruits sign and then tell them sorry u didn’t make the “Tulane” university college test score. That’s total bs. Students get in all the time without “Tulane” test scores.

Let's all take a step back here, unless there's something more that I'm not seeing. When you apply for admission to school, you're told yes or no. BUT (BIG BUT HERE), if I remember correctly doesn't that approval come BEFORE the student has actually finished all his classes? So is it POSSIBLE that he was told he would be accepted with his ACT and classes based on his transcript at the time, but when the final one came in (after HS graduation) it turned out there was some class he failed or didn't take or whatever. Don't the student and parents ALSO have some accountability to make sure the kid has the right qualifications OTHER than just the ACT score?

+1, TPS, this has to be about a lot more than an ACT score? Confidentiality rules may be preventing us from a better understanding for what has occurred?

What if he failed or dropped a class? Wouldn't you also assume that Tulane would let him make it up in summer school or do something else to get the credits needed? Most D1 programs would find a way to make it happen, as, apparently, OSU is doing.

It does seem there has to be more to it. However as to him having met the minimum requirements, score plus the core courses needed, OSU taking him shows he has both.

Awful. So perhaps the Tulane Model isn’t completely dead. I suspect this disaster could be the result of another admissions issue this year. I’ve been told that far more students accepted Tulane’s admission offers this year than ever before (our “yield” spiked up unexpectedly). There will be significantly more freshmen starting this fall than was planned. I wonder if this unforeseen development caused them to move the bar higher for those on the bubble? That’s no excuse for dumping on a star athlete in any sport—but that’s the way Tulane functions at times. Didn’t we have to rescind admissions to several “regular” students a couple years ago? Sounds like problems in the Admissions Office, that have now spilled into the Athletic Dept. Fitts need to personally dig into this one.

All I will say is, I have it from very good sources that Campbell's transcripts didn't even arrive at Tulane until the very end of June. There is a deadline on when that transcript needed to be received.
