The Playbook - Inside the Game Plan for Tulane Football
The increase in the overall Athletics budget equates to an increase in the recruiting resources for Tulane Football. For example, if a coach needs to fly to California for a day, he is able to do so. Tulane Football will not lose recruiting battles due to lack of resources. This is demonstrated through the implementation of our football satellite camps as well as an increase in national recruiting.
Satellite Football Camps
In 2009-2010, Tulane Football held six camps across Louisiana. "These camps are a convenient and very affordable way for players in our state to learn from our coaches without traveling long distances. We have 28 players currently on our roster that we have seen in these camps over the past three years. They are now members of our team because they took advantage of this opportunity in their own back yards. The camps really give our program a presence throughout the state, and that is one of the biggest reasons why almost half our roster is now filled with players from the state of Louisiana." - Tulane head football coach Bob Toledo
Local Talent
Tulane University is the largest private employer in New Orleans and was voted the best place to work in the city. For Tulane Football to become "New Orleans' College Team," we not only need to be successful, but we need to do so by utilizing homegrown talent. Louisiana is a traditional hotbed for Division I college football players. Next season, nearly half of our entire team will be from Louisiana.
