He did a good job of taking advantage of the Smoke Laval years and built a solid program at Tulane.

I don't think Tulane survived LSU's resurgence and ULL's rise.

Smoke years had little to nothing to do with Tulane's rise. Tulane went to Omaha in 2001 while Bertman was head coach. It's not like we started getting the best guys in La, Tulane's 2005 team had 2 starters from Louisiana that year. Tommy Manzella who had no offers and Nathan Southard.

Katrina had a bigger impact. And more BCS conference schools emphasizing baseball has made it less attractive for players to go to Tulane on a 30% scholarship and still shell out a ton of money when State U is offering the same thing but at a third of the price.

ULL's rise.

Excluding this year they haven't risen anymore than normal.

The tuition is the big challenge.
ULL doesn't affect Tulane in any significant way in any sport.
