And how much of that did Goff help raise? Of course Goff, at NW, more than doubled Dickson's fundraising in half the time span. But more relevant, is the fact that we currently have an AD who can't raise squat, and is 1 for 3, with the jury still being out on one hire (Hunter). I suspect Goff could easily outperform Dannen.

Goff has also put NW athletic fundraising into high gear. He has led the charge in increasing annual athletic contributions from $9MM/year to $70MM/Year.

Per his bio on Tulsa’s websiteFrom 2011 to 2016, Dickson raised $200 million toward the investments in new and restored on-campus athletic facilities.
Yulman Stadium: The construction of a state-of-the-art stadium on Tulane’s campus has brought Green Wave football back to uptown New Orleans after 40 years of off-campus play. Yulman Stadium, with a capacity of 30,000 spectators, has created a home-field environment for the team while strengthening the student experience at Tulane.
The Hertz Center: Dedicated in fall 2011 as the new practice facility for the Tulane’s men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs.
Devlin Fieldhouse: One of the historic venues in college basketball underwent a transformation with the restoration and renaming of the 81-year-old building that has been home to Green Wave basketball and volleyball teams. Devlin Fieldhouse officially opened on Nov. 9, 2012.
Greer Field at Turchin Stadium: The brand new facility opened in 2008 and was built for a cost of $14.5 million. With a capacity of 5,000, the pro-style Greer Field at Turchin Stadium features a grandstand design of structural steel with private suites, an open-air club suite, a partially covered seating area and a new press box.

I’d rather have someone fresh not from Tulane. Need to go after new donors. Goff likely going to go after the same people.HoustonWave wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 8:00 pmAnd how much of that did Goff help raise?

We’ve had a lot of “fresh and not from Tulane” types. The most recent being Cowen, Dickson, Dannen, Dunleavy, Jewett, and more football and basketball coaches than I can keep track of. Tulane has quite a history of ignoring its own.Show Me wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 8:09 pmI’d rather have someone fresh not from Tulane. Need to go after new donors.

Goff is interesting with his success at northwestern who we see as a peer university. Someone from Vandy/Baylor/SMU would
Be ideal. But It would be interested to bring someone from the wealthy Texas schools (UT/T A &M)) or west coast private schools ( (USC) in for fundraising.

And his fundraising in a Chicago B1G school will not follow him here .

He increased annual athletic fundraising at NW from $8MM per year to an average of $70MM per year. So he obviously did something beyond NW just being a Chicago BIG10. Individual effort does make a difference.nawlinspete wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 10:07 amAnd his fundraising in a Chicago B1G school will not follow him here .

This is a concept being overlooked in the discussion. Northwestern athletics is in another stratosphere, and it was there before they hired Goff and it will still be there after Goff.nawlinspete wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 10:07 amAnd his fundraising in a Chicago B1G school will not follow him here .

It wasn’t at $70MM per year before Goff got there, they were drifting at $8MM per year. I’m a strong supporter of Travis in large part because he was the first, and only, representative from Tulane’s athletic dept. that actually visited my office and asked for more financial support. Nobody before, nor since, has done that. Travis doesn’t concern himself with self promotion, PR events or NCAA committees, he just puts in the leg work day to day to raise money. So I’m hardly surprised he increased NW’s annual giving rate by over 31% CAGR over 8 years. No doubt NW has a better and more concentrated base to start with, but Goff would almost certainly improve Tulane’s athletic fundraising from its current base of almost zero.Aberzombie1892 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 4:24 pmThis is a concept being overlooked in the discussion.

Excellent post. I hadn’t heard that before but that’s actually how you do it to get real financial results.HoustonWave wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 8:48 amIt wasn’t at $70MM per year before Goff got there, they were drifting at $8MM per year.

I think he’s probably going to get an AD job a some point on a smaller level. I still believe Tulane should shoot for Brian White. I trust his ability to hire great coaches. Fundraising can follow winning.

Interesting to read this prediction I had. Goff got a nice AD job (Kansas) and Brian White went to FAU as their AD.tpstulane wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 11:49 amExcellent post.
