At the rate athletic departments are leaving adidas, the only schools using those damn bats will be Eastern Michigan, Occidental College and us.**

I'm fine with that. Moving on up the ladder.

I'm envious.

One step closer to us being their biggest client.

Maybe as the original TSUN they took offense.

Wow- Jumpman for both basketball programs? Thatll make Michigan maybe the 6th or 7th school in the country rocking Jumpman.

Paul ..

One step closer to us being their biggest client.

seems to have a good 'source' that says the Adidas 'screwed-up job' (his words) on the TSUN baseball practice shirts 'helped' State with their new contract that runs through 2020 .. $15M more than last year's contract.

Also, Adidas has 'collaborated' with TaylorMade Golf on new bats .. hopefully for the better. http://news.adidas.com/US/Latest-Ne...lz-bat/s/2D75C461-70B5-4AED-A9FC-A84019FC28C6

Pretty sure the renegotiation already made us very close to their biggest client. Some here owe chillbilly an apology when he broke that and was ridiculed for it. UCLA and Kansas are ahead of us. We're virtually equal to Louisville now.

We're bringing down $5.475mil/yr now in apparel and cash. It's hard to get updated numbers on everyone as it's constant renegotiations, but that would have made us #6 in the country as of this past season's reported numbers. #5 considering Tennessee took a pay cut to go Nike.

Thanks to "F--K THE TSUN"

Still a good faith gesture on their part. Far, far above our market value IMO. Although both of our previous two contracts were well below our market value I thought. Maybe that's an unfair statement. Maybe saying they were for our market value at two instances just before we saw huge increases in our market value is the fair way to state it.
