Put it this way, if Underarmour signed Kansas, Duke and Arizona, those three teams would still continue to be top 10 teams


But they're not...wherein lies the problem, and the coaches who benefit from Nike.

Basically the point is you can't say "Look, UA causes schools to suck at basketball" because 75% of them always sucked at basketball and the other 25% either are doing better or had their successful coaches leave/retire.


There absolutely is a negative effect of having UA . I will admit that without hesitation. The effect though is not a "gamechanger" and is something easily overcome by a good coach. With out AAU problems and lack of history, Auburn would struggle recruiting even with Nike/Addidas. We are only getting out of this shithole by hiring a good coach not by changing sponsors
