One of the hardest parts of the Tulane job right now is dealing with the high tuition, academic standards and few scholarships. I don't know his background has Willis dealt with that before LSUE?

They don't have the UC any more, but they did get The School of Continuing Studies. I believe it's pretty similar, but I'm not sure what the differences are.

Hopefully we can get Gautreau in Ruston.

I'll be pulling for him if so.

They can't put athletes in it full time. They are supposedly working on more "athletics friendly majors".
Tuition is the problem, but even then, I've heard that TU has done some things to help. But you have to sift through "coach speak", which I learned long ago is necessary at Tulane...unsuccessful or declining coaches love their excuses and alibis. Some fans are close to various coaches, they report what they heard from coaches, and all of a sudden, the fault is with the University or with whomever.
From my view, tuition is probably an issue (but overstated) and Coach Jones didn't adjust well to losing his class after Katrina, nor to losing his 2008 class to the baseball draft, nor to the revised NCAA recruiting and scholarship rules.
