Samford is lower than even Alabama for graduate salary. wtf are you looking at?
Alabama has paid $225k for 27 years in a row to get ACC accreditation, never once even invited to an interview in Chicago.
Guess who just was approved? Auburn.

Has he been trying to get AU to change for 20 years? Why Under Armor for 20 years when so many prominent AU alum are now on the Nike train?
because UA was paying Auburn a shite ton of money to wear their apparel?

Forbes laughs at your insistence on barner stupidity.

Kind of strange that NIKE couldn't at least match since they did have a guy on the BOD. Or NIKE just wasn't as concerned about being part of Auburn's brand?

Nike has the market cornered on college football. UA was trying to get their foot in the door. UA was paying all of their top schools a hell of a lot more than Nike was.

It's crazy how quickly Under Armour went down the toilet.
They expanded into areas where they shouldn't have, because the areas were too saturated already like fishing and hunting.
After Zion's injury in college wearing Nikes, they should have gone into every NBA locker room and negatively recruited against Nike, but they either didn't do that or couldn't sway people to switch.
Even when Nike had a stranglehold on the NBA, there were good players like AI and Shaq who not just bucked the trend, but had popular shoes that kids wanted to wear. I don't see a lot of people choosing to wear UA basketball shoes.
In 2012 I think there was an interview with their owner or founder or CEO and the big take away was he wanted "no loser talk" when it came to business. Well, bossman, sometimes people need to be told "that's a bad idea because...". I think that environment lead to them expanding into areas they had no business going into.
I liked the look of some of their shoes, but the last two pair I bought gave me shin splints, so back to Saucony and New Balance.
I knew UA was in trouble when they backed out of the deal with MLB a few years ago. 2,430 regular season games is a lot of time to show your logo and UA seemed to be well positioned to own the baseball market with their gear.
It will be interesting if they go the way of And One or are able to recover as a company.

Why do Bama fans drown themselves in that ugly arse houndstooth when there's like none of it on the uniforms?
Cause 95% of updykes are drowning themselves in whiskey like the dead drunk bear

Is a cover missing from one of those overhead lights? What’s the matter AU? Can’t afford to replace it?

No. Look at their stadium, but muh jumbotron.

I was thinking that after paying off all those former coaches and purchasing that Beat Bama sign they would be a little pressed for money

They were in excellent position for one day when they thought they had signed KD in 2014 as well. Nike ended up punking UAA though and KD turned into another Anti-UnderArmour mouth.

Has to be tough on Auburn being the poors and watching UGA and BAMA prosper.

What about our stadium?
You realize your basketball facility is the shittiest in the SEC, right?

Auburn has a neat high school court. I'll give you that, but BAMA has just agreed to build Oats 20+ mil basketball only facility. The arena is coming.

It really is hard for them. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more bitter, resentful fan base. At times it’s hard to figure out who they hate more. Georgia or Alabama. It used to be Bama but after 20 years of getting bitch slapped by UGA it seems to be a tossup now

Are you mentally disabled? Serious question.
Also, you seem to forget you hired Harsin V2 in football. I haven't forgotten.
