We're going to line up some professionals - counselors. The reality is just setting in for all of us. We didn't have the benefit of looking from the outside in. They're still absorbing everything that did happen. There will finally be some realization of what happened - as it's been described to us, the worst disaster in our country's history.

The conference gave us a chance to put a plan together. It's remarkable we haven't lost anything yet.

In the end, this is probably the best scenario, to return students to as normal a campus setting and experience as we could.

I have shared with our coaches that Tulane athletics has been given a role and a mission, ... We have to carry the message, to Tulanians especially, but also to the whole country, that an institution as valuable as a 170-year-old university and a culture as rich and vibrant as ours in New Orleans, will not and cannot be erased by this disaster.

The cooperation with all of these schools has been outstanding. We never forget these young men and women were student-athletes, and we did the best job we could in accomplishing this under difficult circumstances. It was something made easier by the way the schools involved accepted our people.

That's beyond the first phase of this, ... We're trying to make certain everyone is in safe harbor.

These Tulane student-athletes are visiting students at Louisiana Tech and will be held accountable by both institutions for their actions, ... Both institutions set high standards of behavior for their students, and the high expectations and standards of both universities will serve as a guideline for us in dealing with this matter.

That's absolutely something we think about all the time, ... Everyday, we keep in mind that we're representing (Tulane).

Then, we'll put the logistics of the athletic piece together next.

It looks as though Fogelman may have dodged a serious bullet,
