Ultimately, a pay-for-play model that would treat players as employees.

Nearly 80% of respondents believe schools will pay athletes directly within the next decade. Nearly 75% think the sport will eventually follow some sort of professional model, perhaps with schools forming conferences based on their willingness to pay players. And virtually everyone (98%) thinks more realignment is in store -- sooner than later.

Nearly 80% of respondents said NIL represents a black-market pay-for-play system that is being used to secure recruits and transfers. Meanwhile, nearly 60% of respondents said the transfer portal has created what amounts to free agency in college football, and they believe that will ultimately hurt the sport with fans.

The obvious answer is it would kill our chances not just hurt them.

When you look at some of the ADs we have had, like Kevin White, Chet Gladchuck and Sandy Barbour, they proved to be quality ADs once they went somewhere else. You can complain all you want, but outsiders definitely think highly of Troy Dannen.

My issue with Troy Dannen is he's gone silent. Whether it's true or not, the notion that he spends more time working on NCAA projects and committees than he does on Tulane Athletics is widespread. He does nothing to alleviate that perception. We are at probably the most critical junction in Tulane Athletics history, certainly since the idiotic decision was made to leave the SEC. Yet we hear absolutely nothing about what Tulane wants to do. The silence is deafening. It screams "WE DON"T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ATHLETICS AT TULANE."

C'mon man. Let us know Tulane wants to be in that number. Or tell us what the alternate plan is going to be. Otherwise you're stealing from anyone that gives a penny or a $ million.

I have stated before that the silence is my biggest complaint as well, but what is the root of it? Let's suppose the administration has made it clear to him that athletics is of marginal importance. What should Dannen say? Does he announce to every donor that they are wasting their money? That is suicide. All you can do is look for another job (already tried) or quietly work from the inside to improve the situation while putting the best face on it. It's not up to Dannen to announce university intentions, it's the administration's obligation.
