re: 2015 Auburn Basketball Recruiting Thread

Thirdlawson, when Baylor commands the type of sponsorship Auburn does, then we can talk about splitting it.

When brokering a deal here are things that get taken into account

- Exposure (tv, news etc)

- Merchandise sales

- Program colors (it's a long explanation that I only have amateur knowledge of but trust me, it is a negotiation point)



Apparel companies would come to Auburn to get a foothold on markets that AU is a major player for in terms of sales and exposure. While not on the level of an Alabama or Georgia, Auburn is a fringe Southeast flagship program due to how big a presence we are in the Southeast. Apparel companies don't do split deals for a program like AU because it is too valuable to let a competitor have a bite of the action.



A school like Baylor doesn't have the type of presence AU does so apparel companies don't negotiate the same way
