Tulanians, New Orleans, Athletic Director David Harris, and President Mike Fitts, Enough is enough. Tulane football is a falling way short of our standard and imminent action is necessary. Last year, Tulane was one of the 12 best teams in the entire country which lead to unprecedented positive media coverage, a surge in Alumni support and a 100% increase in applications to the university. 9 months ago, thousands of Alumni gathered across the country to cheer on the Wave win the conference championship and compete in the College Football Playoff. Now, we can hardly get 10 alumni together in each city to watch a game. The poor state of the football program is not only doing direct harm to Alumni engagement and enthusiasm and will have repercussions in future admissions cycles, but could potentially lead to irreversible damage and billions of lost dollars with the inevitable upcoming conference realignment. Our success has been used as an excuse to not invest MORE in the program. We have been a victim of our own success and our peers have caught up and surpassed us already. Our former competition like SMU, and Houston who were already ahead of us seems impossible to catch up to. Change is needed now. WE MUST INVEST TO STAY COMPETITIVE. If you care about Tulane football please SHARE this message. An outpouring from Alumni, Fans, and New Orleans will be the only thing to bring the university to immediate action. @DavidHarrisAD @TUFitts @GreenWaveFB
