Wow! I mean we all know how much winning can change the status quo but 4x is astounding. And the 500k in the NIL still seems quite below Tulane potential.

Excited to see where we go from here!

Quote:At the beginning of the football season, the collective had only amassed about $100,000, Comarda said.

But by the time fans had returned from Cotton Bowl celebrations, funds “more than quadrupled” — suggesting it amassed more than $400,000 to pay players.

The collective received almost 70 donations just in November and December alone.

The football program’s success has sparked funds for men’s and women’s basketball and baseball.

Way to go Tulane. Great way to jumpstart your NIL fund.

While we're not competing with the big boys yet. ~500k-1m each in NIL funding per year should get us quality rosters.

Sounds like SMU is leading the pack early. Pony, aren't you guys paying every scholarship player 35k-ish?

I mean heck, Tulane owns the AAC, b-12 and the frickin cotton bowl, I bet that money goes to 1 million

It is good to read, congrats. Tulane has started to tap into its vast potential.

I feel we are amid a NIL arms race. The ocean is filled with dreadnoughts of the mighty powers like the SEC and Big10 and our conference is in no position to routinely challenge them. Our goal is to possess the strongest flotilla among the weaker foes. It is doable.

The comparison is apt, and the objective is well within reach.
