HuskerPowerVA Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 lol... apparel isnt going to win a title. Exactly. I never bought the better alt uniforms will bring better recruits. I HATE Alabama, but somehow kids are fine with tradition. You know what brings blue chip recruits more than anything? 1. Winning 2. Being on National TV (related to rule 1). 3. Having players drafted into the NFL. 4. Coaches who have ties to the NFL. 5. Campus atmosphere - Hot girls and nice weather helps this a lot. 6. Relationship with coaches. This is difficult as all the coaches say nice things to parents and kids. MR has an advantage here because he is genuine. 1 Quote Link to comment

Alternate uniforms, almost literally, built Oregon football. They didn't win a National title, but had been incredibly successful until last year. 1 Quote Link to comment

Phil Knight is alumni and has a unique relationship with that school. So unless UA is relocating to Nebraska and pouring money into every aspect of that campus that doesn't hold water. 1 Quote Link to comment

I wasn't suggesting it mattered more than the reasons you listed, was just suggesting that alternate uniforms DO matter to some recruits. Although, it probably peaked a few years ago. Kind of comes back to the "look good, feel good, play good" thing. Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Adidas should be offering us more because they keep losing all their biggest schools and struggling to keep up (specifically in college football). College sports is an afterthought in Adidas' overall strategy. Their focus is on International soccer/football, pro basketball, and being a lifestyle brand. 1 Quote Link to comment

For some reason the last contract gave N more flexibility than Nike or UA. Unsure if that will still be the case. Quote Link to comment

Why should we be wasting our time with someone who treats our cash cow as an afterthought? That's precisely why they should be offering us obscene amounts of money or we should be hitting the road. 1 Quote Link to comment

I've always liked Adidas. Probably always will. You're right though, Nebraska should definitely demand more money here. Even if they don't necessarily need it. We're Nebraska. We're still a big-time program, with plenty to offer your brand. Pay us like it. Quote Link to comment

I disagree with this thought. Adidas isn't a big time player in college sports because it focuses on other things. They still give great money to the colleges that wear there gear, and NU is getting fair market $ for where their athletic program ranks nationally. 1 Quote Link to comment
