Chances of dropping Adidas after our contract is up?

[Crusader Husker]

In new math if it makes you feel good about yourself that 11.6>16 than 11.6 is larger than 16.

BTW hear about Loiusville's new deal?

Huskers get $11.7M per year.  Kansas gets $13.6M.

Good work, Eichorst.

Or, more accurately, "Everyone was pretty stoked that we were Adidas' biggest contract but really we were just the most recent one to sign."

Good work, Eichorst.

I know you mean this sarcastically but that was good work.

In fairness, nothing on the field proves we should be getting paid more. Hell, wasn't NIU an adidas team? Good work by SE to get the deal done before this s#!tstorm of a season.

Plus, doesn't Basketball play a significant role in apparel deals?  I don't think the Kansas deal was a huge surprise.  No reason to pile on Eichhorst over this.  Easy (lazy) target IMO.

Yes, and postseason appearances play an even bigger role.

Wait till Adidas sees the 2017-18 version of Nebrasketball.

Perhaps we could have gotten a better deal if Adidas hadn't used that cash buying recruits for Louisville.   :lol:

Wonder if Nebraska already signed the deal or if there is an opt-out clause.  We may not want to be associated with Adidas any longer.

We will have to wait and see how much this damages Adidas.  However, I would surely believe both sides would have the ability to get out of a contract if one party does something to damage the reputation of the other.

Problem is.....if all hell breaks loose and it gets bad enough to get out of the Adidas contract, we aren't in a really big bargaining position with either Nike or Under Armor.  

We could EASILY end up with a worse contract than the one we currently have.  (and I'm fairly happy with that one).

Looks like Rimington just got another thing to do in his 60 days, find out if and how this could effect Nebraska.

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