DALLAS, Texas, September 7. DUE to their displacement by Hurricane Katrina, student-athletes from Tulane University will be spread across five campuses in Louisiana and Texas during the fall semester. The women\u2019s swimming team will relocate to Texas A&M in College Station, Texas. The swimming program will be joined by men\u2019s basketball, women\u2019s volleyball and women\u2019s soccer at Texas A&M.<\/p>\n
Tulane coaches and support staff, including trainers, academic counselors and administrators, will work with the various helping universities in determining practice and competition schedules, along with meeting times. Students will be admitted to the host schools under tuition and enrollment agreements worked out by Dr. Scott Cowen, Tulane\u2019s President. Students will be afforded housing and meal services in addition to their enrollment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t say enough about the tremendous outpouring of support we have received from every single person we have spoken to over the last several days, not only from these five schools, but from other schools we contacted and our conference office,\u201d said Tulane Athletic Director Rick Dickson. \u201cOur priority was to continue to provide a high quality academic and athletic experience for our athletes. This plan could not have come together without their help.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Tulane football team will relocate to Louisiana Tech University and the baseball and women\u2019s basketball squads will move to Texas Tech University. Women\u2019s tennis will be based at Rice University and men\u2019s and women\u2019s golf will be situated at Southern Methodist University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
