I have no idea what this is about.
Tulane requested to wear white jerseys at home to honor their 2005 team that had to play the entire year on the road because of Katrina. Even for their “home” games they had to wear white because it was the only jersey they took when the team evacuated. For whatever reason, Northwestern declined the request. Tulane went on to beat them 23-3.
I see. Personally I think it's a stupid rule the home team can't pick white without permission so long as they give the visiting team x # of days advance notice, but whatever that's not the rule...
Tulane apparently requested it on 8/17, so about two weeks before. I think these things are generally asked for months before, but unless Northwestern didn’t have purple jerseys ready yet that still seems like enough time to switch up equipment plans.
I sometimes see the pros do this, too. Complete lack of situational awareness.
At least the pros have stat incentives on their contracts.
That part is making us rethink some things we have in our plans. Kinda sad.
The whole thing is dumb, but why would a team want to wear dark in the south in august? I just don’t see it as a big deal. Like I said, people who live in New Orleans should look in their glass shitty house
MSU did the same. On the hockey side they added scholarship fees to the seats, football doubled the parking fees (though I'm not sure that even goes to athletics). they partnered with a new concession group that offers more selection, but raised the prices on everything including what they were already selling beforehand.
