Are you serious? You think 5 stars are suddenly going to Tulane for something other than money?

I get the past…but Tulane was put on the map the minute they beat USC in cotton bowl, they lose their coach and made great hire…they have been the premier g5 school the past few years. I am not saying money has nothing to do with it but we if we can’t even compare with them we are in big trouble.

Tulane is working with the most money in the state. It’s not the same thing.

How much do they have?

I would somewhat agree. Assuming they just have this cache of money the real surprise is that they're willing to go all in on football and spend on athletes. This hasn't been their university mission in the past.

The university literally owns half of Nola. They own so much retail space that they lease out.

Think Buffalo Trace Distillery / Bill Goldring - that's what Tulane has going for it

$$$ runs the world.

Yep…. The Sazerac company prints money

They also have the Glazer family (Tampa Bay Bucs and Manchester United owner) as a huge booster among others

I understand they have more money than us, but we have no idea any of these guys are coming to Tulane for the “money” just sounds like an easy cop out as to why we aren’t getting transfers.

Look around the sunbelt if y’all don’t like my Tulane example since they are so far out of our league now…

You can’t be serious ? Lmao!

Maybe also since Sumrall has prior history at Tulane he's able to quickly reconnect those recruiting relationships with coaches for the Tulane academic type of player? He sure didn't waste time winning back to back championships at Troy zooming past us. If Sumrall continues his winning ways at Tulane, he'll be at P5 in a couple years. Nowadays, we gotta expect if hiring a top flight football coach that wins big whether via recruiting or some portal players added in, we'll only keep the great players and/or head coach around UL just a short while. It bites, but embracing the CFB changes even though we may dislike them appears to be the way of program building. The alternative is a losing record and fan apathy. Sad.

Have it on good authority that we’ll have a big addition tomorrow. Should get some reaction from the natives.

Back to the thread topic … can we get a hint or two? Offense or Defense? … P5 transfer?
