Pearl worked under Adidas at Tennessee, right?




Ya but Pearl isn't going to have the type of power to broker the Adidas deal because it would be more than just basketball we switch over. If we were to split up our sports, you are absolutely torpedoing our contract value.


Keep in mind that for Football our Under Armour relationships in terms of equipment design has been huge. In the past, they will essentially give us custom equipment for anything we ask for and want to try out

Where is Nino. I wouldn't be surprised if he has some insight into the equipment side. I believe he has some knowledge on this

The athletic department won't break up the apparel contract by sport. I don't see that as ever being an option whether Pearl would want that or not so I agree there.

That being said, I don't see us turning over for Adidas when Under Armour is making clear strides in all sports just because of AAU basketball.
