Notre Dame's deal is worth $90 million (and has UA stock options) over 10 years... to put it in perspective, Auburn's deal is worth is worth $27.5 million over 7 years...

pretty crazy what kind of pull ND has.

Saw that last night. Our deal is up in three years or so. I would guess we will be getting a raise, not that kind of coin though.

michigan signed a $80 million deal with addidas recently (was in the article)... but no way we'll come close to that.

We have had tons of exposure the last 4 years with Cam, 2010 season, and this last year... be interesting to see what happens... especially if we continue to gain exposure the next couple years.

Our biggest bargaining chip with UA just was lost with the deal. We should get a solid deal still but won't be nearly as generous as we would have liked. We are at best fringe top 10 merchandising school and normally rank around 12-15 but we had roughly a top 5 deal since UA wanted a marquee program.

I wouldn't be surprised if after this contract with UA, we start shopping Addidas

We will never go Nike since Nike already has UA in the state and don't care to compete with themselves

i may reconsider my fanhood if we go adidas... their jerseys absolutely awful.

i bet we stick with UA... we should get a decent deal based on recent exposure.

I'd be very careful what you wish for. Adidas sure as shite is better than Russel

I have no problems with Russell.

My order:
1. Nike
2. Under Armor




3. Russell


4. Adidas

I imagine they'll give us a pretty big bump. They'd be pretty stupid to give us the shaft.

Yea, we are really the only football program doing anything for them as far as on field production.

Russell can't afford us, so no need to worry... their jersey's are definitely better looking than the crap adidas throws out there though.

you can't tell me our early 2000s look wasn't great...

USCe as well

But my point was we were loyal to them when they only had Maryland and mediocre gear. We have given them national exposure on the biggest stage in college athletics...it's time they paid us back.

Right now we are happy with Under Armour. The basketball issue is completely overrated. We suck because Barbee sucks. Underarmour has nothing to do with it Even so, if it was a real problem it would be something UA would fix eventually. They had issues with shoes in our 2010 season and they have fixed that (thanks to Cam)


Just will be intereting to see how contract negotiations go considering we lost serious leverage

Cleats are still a question mark for UA. Our players were sliding all over the field in Pasadena.
