@sohowistexas@CTESPNTulane@TulaneAthletics@DavidHarrisAD Go find a similar school (size and financials) and then look at the number of annual donors comparatively. Then look at multi-sports investments, so you can't count someone like Wake Forest who only supports baseball. There's maybe 1-2 schools in a better situation than Tulane.
@sohowistexas@CTESPNTulane@TulaneAthletics@DavidHarrisAD And over the last two years (and currently) baseball has new turf, new foundation under the outfield, newly remodeled locker room, a remodel and AC being added to the hack shack, a coming facility that will help in recruiting. Now we move onto scholarships, it takes money...
@CTESPNTulane@sohowistexas@TulaneAthletics@DavidHarrisAD And it's never been more expensive to run an athletic program in the history of the world, be a part of the solution. Other programs have everyday people stepping up...
@TyroneBillyJ What if I told you search firms are paid a relatively small retainer and only land their full payment if their recommendation is contractually hired? You probably still wouldn't be happy.
@CTESPNTulane@sohowistexas@TulaneAthletics@DavidHarrisAD Universities supplement athletic departments with many things, but the department is responsible for covering scholarships and the majority of their budget comes from giving, it's always been that way.
@sohowistexas@TulaneAthletics@DavidHarrisAD 11.7 scholarships over 4 years at Tulane cost over $4.5 million, over $8 million if you want to grow that number to 20. Money doesn't grow on the oak trees and it's going to take commitments, the same way that other fan bases are helping their programs.
@rboudreaux4645 As much as I hate Jay and want to see the house cleaned, this is becoming a more common bullpen warmup made popular by Yamamoto. Helps lock in shoulder stability and is a final balance check toward the end of a warmup.
@McDonalds No more refill stations or over the counter refills for dine in customers? It's unpatriotic and a slap in the face to hardworking Americans.
@McDonalds I’ve been loyal for 30+ years. I defended you through rising prices and declining service, but ending dine-in refills is pure GREED. Americans are paying more, getting less, and being taken advantage of while McDonald’s profits. Boycott McDonald's.
@Usualsuspect459@latestinspace End of the day NASA's economic impact is 4-5x it budget. It's a fine investment into the economy. Unlock most taxpayer dollars where we see no ROI.
