Shoe contract was an issue but definitely blown out of proportion.



It was a major issue for Barbee because he refused to work with Under Armour. He even called them out and called them a burden a few times in the press. They sure weren't going to assist him with anything after all that. On the other side of the coin one of the 1st things Pearl did is go to UA headquarters with most or the entire staff to ask them how he could help them out.

I was just meant that people act like having Under Armour destines you to be a bottom 5 program no exception. It definitely is easier to be a Nike favorite but having Under Armour isn't a death penalty for basketball, just a hurdle

...to me, this is just another example showing Barbee's stupidity and Pearl's intelligence.

I bet UA saw that as quite the thoughtful gesture for Pearl to go there and ask how UA and Auburn can work together to promote their brand in basketball.
