Chances of dropping Adidas after our contract is up?

[BigRedBuster]

There is a chance this all ends up very good for Nebraska.

Let's say Louisville and Kansas are nailed in this but yet Nebraska comes out clean.  And...let's assume there is a clause in the contract that allows Adidas out of any contract where the school does something to reflect bad on them.

 

It may end up the higher ups at Adidas realizes the gem they really have in Nebraska and they totally pump huge amounts of money into the programs.  Way more than either Louisville or Kansas was even getting.

Lets assume that Adidas is gone, like Eichorst.  So far the schools are not in near the mess as assistant coaches are right now.  Adidas is in farther than the schools other than Louisville.  Cards are headed towards SMU type sanctions.

Kinda have to wonder if any of this sort of activity was going on in football too. I'm hopeful that Nebraska won't be implicated.

 

Although, you have to wonder why Smiles wasn't able to recruit better.

Wow this Adidas thing took a serious turn now didnt it?  I think we might have legitimate contractual terms to leave them now.  Let the bidding begin.

Also I think some (a lot?) of NU players take that logo a little too seriously

It all makes sense why adidas paid Louisville and Kansas more. They wanted that basketball deal flow. 

Basketball programs are going to get the bigger deals.  They want to get those basketball players in adidas in AAU and college, with hopes to having those players wear adidas in the NBA.  Basketball shoes and players sell and mean much bigger money than football players/programs.

 I wasn't trying to make it seem like I was disagreeing with you.  Just further expanding on your comment.  Adidas has been aggressive into cutting into Nike's market share, and there seems to have been a cost to doing that, although I wonder how much this scandal will really impact their sales.

Oh, no man! I knew what you were getting at - I think w're on the same page. I'm guessing sales won't be too badly impacted, where they're getting hurt right now is on the capital market side. Pretty big increase in short interest over the last few days. Also, I don't think Nike is completely out of the woods, either. Interested to see where the two companies are trading at in a couple of months.

Adidas keeps adding schools.

 

I wonder how HCSF is handling the transition to Adidas gear  

[Saunders]

Glad to see USF go to Adidas. My wife is a USF grad, so we get USF gear each year, but it's just so blah. UA is complete garbage, especially their shoes.
