Mavric Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The University of Nebraska-Lincoln walked away from negotiations with TFL Development Inc. earlier this month, effectively ending plans to bring a Nike store to downtown Lincoln. Months of talks between UNL and the company launched by former Husker star Ndamukong Suh failed to produce an agreement for a retail store in the former Nebraska Bookstore space, the university said Tuesday. In a March 17 letter to A’Jene M. Maxwell, a Detroit-area attorney representing TFL Development, UNL said it will not move forward with the proposed development. “The University has elected not to move forward with the … project in the manner originally described due to the inability of the parties to come to mutually agreeable terms,” the letter states.

HuskerNBigD Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Well sh#t... guess we're going to be stuck with Adidas. Hope the recruits like the Yeezy's cause that's about the only trendy thing Adidas has. Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Which is funny because many times I see some of our top recruits wearing Adidas stuff (shoes) in HS. If they hate Adidas so much, I'm surprised they wear their shoes. Quote Link to comment

A junior or senior in HS is getting free stuff from our athletic department? A kid whose father could buy him whatever he wants to wear is wearing pathetically ugly Adidas shoes because they are free? They are wearing Adidas football shoes at camps and 7 on 7 tournaments because they are free? Quote Link to comment

When recruits visit, they get a bunch of free gear from the team. That's what I am saying. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm thinking they would wear the shoes they feel the most comfortable in and like the best to play in. I have seen pictures of players in HS wearing are tweeting pictures of Adizero shoes. Maybe Adidas isn't as disgusting as some people think. Quote Link to comment

Bowfin Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 wearing pathetically ugly Adidas shoes because they are free? Real men don't see shoes as pretty or ugly. I am just keeping everybody grounded here, so don't take offense...think Ron Swanson thoughts. Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 When did we start giving recruits a bunch of free gear? Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 We don't...That is against the rules. The coats and gear that recruits wear at games are returned to the Athletic Department after their visit. Quote Link to comment

The coats and gear that recruits wear at games are returned to the Athletic Department after their visit. They get tshirts and other minor things. They don't get "nothing" on their visits. Gift Guidelines The rules strictly forbid an athlete from accepting monetary gifts or special arrangements for family and friends. This rule applies throughout the entire recruiting process—on- and off-campus visits, tournament contacts, official signing day—and continues throughout the athlete's collegiate career. Neither the athlete nor his parents or guardian may borrow money from a representative of a college or university at any point in the recruiting process. Gifts of the following items are also prohibited: personalized jerseys, team merchandise, equipment, clothing, loans or co-signing of loans, employment arrangements and free or discounted housing. http://www.stack.com/a/must-know-ncaa-recruiting-rules-and-regulations Quote Link to comment
