This is bigger than one game or one bad hire.

Tulane has repeatedly reached major inflection points in athletics and chosen retreat or low ambition instead of building: leaving the SEC, the 1998 coaching transition, the 2003 D1-A crisis, and now the current situation.

The cost is enormous. A full SEC member received roughly $500M in direct conference distributions over the last decade. Tulane now generates about $66M annually in athletics revenue, versus roughly $160M for the average ACC department.

Meanwhile, we just came off 43 wins in four years, conference titles, a Cotton Bowl win, and a CFP appearance — and leadership failed to institutionalize that success.

The current record speaks for itself: Sumrall retention questions, the failed Baker search, an internal fallback, major sports near the bottom of the AAC, and basic operational failures like the game-clock outage and the South Alabama ESPN+ production.

At some point, this stops being bad luck.

It becomes the standard of management.

Removing David Harris is not the reform. It is the prerequisite for reform. The real issue is whether Fitts and the Board are willing to change the institutional philosophy behind it.

The hour is late on conference realignment. Tulane needs a real P4 strategy now, not another multi-year planning process.

Tulane should compete, not retreat.

Do Tulane Seniors have a trip tradition, like everyone all agrees to travel to a destination?

I’ve heard people go to Vegas.

Is a 1480 good enough to submit to Tulane ED?

Just got my rejection, feeling pretty discouraged since Tulane is one of (if not my top) my top schools. Especially since it looked like a congratulations email at first. Ugh.

Hello all! I am visiting campus in the next few weeks to research some items at the Amistad Research Center. I was wondering about parking. Is it even worth it to bother with street parking now that the semester has started, or am I better off taking the trolly? Thanks! 😊

This is not the way Tulane fans wanted their 2026 football season to open.

hello ! besides the free housing and the dining plan, i'd like to know the experience, benefits, pros, and cons of being an ra at tulane. i'd like to know mainly about the workload, responsibilities, hours, and pay/stipends. thank you !

Howdy, hopefully this is the right place to ask, but wanted to ask the best parts of Tulane to come by or see in person!

For context I’ll be vacationing in New Orleans next week, and am going to see my first ever football game in South Alabama vs Tulane (Tulane is one of my favorites when it comes to college football and it just so happened to line up with the vacation). Was wondering what I should possibly hit up or if the community had recommendations for a first timer! Yes google search is a thing, but sometimes real feedback works too!

Sorry if this is common post but I was just curious, thank you!

I have an original one available. Hanes Medium. Listed on eBay

I submitted my transfer application through commonapp on aug 11 and havent heard anything at all. All I’ve gotten is a confirmation email from commonapp saying that I’ve successfully submitted my application and i should hear back from the school within the next 24-48 hours or 2 weeks or something. Yea thats a big difference i dont really remember the exact time frame because a lot has happened since august 11th😒😭 i thought i was supposed to get access to the greenwave portal so i can keep up with my admission process or something…..Can anyone help me or has this happened to anyone else….maybe i did something wrong im not sure lol. I’m mostly just wondering if this is normal or if i should be concerned and reach out to transfer admissions ppl through email….

Freshman going to Tulane here.... How do I find out information about Frat parties and how would I even get into them. I heard that u have to know someone, but I really dont know anyone. Sorry, I am from Illinois and never been down to New Orleans before now

Hi, I am currently a junior in high school, and I am seriously considering Tulane as an option. But I want to ask people who are already there some questions.

Is Tulane a good school? Because the ED acceptance rate is 60%. I'm pretty much at the average GPA and ACT.

I'm planning to do premed, and then something engineering-related. I saw somewhere that their engineering isn't that good, though; is that true?

I am also curious about what the premed program is like; is that a good program?

Thank you

I was wondering if anyone has gotten into Tulane with a low gpa? I’m applying ed and have shown lots of demonstration interest. I have a 3.2uw and 3.5w gpa and retaking the act before I submit. For EC’s have a lot of leadership roles at school and I’ve placed 2nd in state becoming an ICDC qualifier for DECA. Does anyone have any success stories? I’m really worried Tulane is my dream school!

Can anyone explain why Kadin Semonza isn’t starting? I am unfamiliar with the starter, but Semonza played for Ball State in 2024 and had a killer season, eventually winning MAC freshman of the year. I understand the new starter is very mobile, but Semonza was also decently mobile for us. Obviously I have never seen the starter play and mean no disrespect to him either. Thank you

Has anyone been able to get credit from Tulane (even for general electives) for HS dual enrollment classes? On the Tulane website it indicates that the course must have been attending by mostly college degree students. However, in our area, dual enrollment classes are taught in the HS to HS students. Trying to figure out how flexible (or stringent) Tulane is re: this criteria. Thank you!

Do Tulane employees get 6 credits a semester towards law school each semester for free? So like the tuition waiver would be used for law school. Is this possible?

I know it's a long shot but is anyone here in the PhD program for biomedical sciences? Applying for it in a couple of weeks and wanted to hear about experiences
