I was kinda hoping this was a layup for Dana white to throw UM money and get some publicity for the UFCRoyal Caribbean needs to step the **** up!
Yall can wear shoes no matter what apparel deal we have 
The price will be too high I’m sure. If there’s some tax advantages could be UHealth I guess
They was definitely more rare back then
This is way better articulated than I ever could. I will say some of my later googling on how adidas has been moving to sign more HS talent for shoe deals and the 3SSB looks to be improving. The tides are shifting slightly away, but Nike is by and away the big dog in HS BBall tourneys and being accessible into their pool now is an advantage.
This is the biggest advantage of the Nike deal besides the money. Idrc about apparel or vague storytelling marketing advantages / vibes.
The difference in your AD being a career administrator vs business-acumen and why everyone is shifting their strategy in their athletic department
Dana White is going to be dead and gone and people will still be telling themselves he’ll help the athletic department one day.
Friend I’m ******* with you I’m probably older than youI’m a proud Gen Xer. Say that to my face and you’ll leave in a different condition than we met.
I’m guessing you’re one year older than me. I’m too old to fight in real life, but I’m a BAMF online. Handsome too.Friend I’m ******* with you I’m probably older than youI’m a proud Gen Xer. Say that to my face and you’ll leave in a different condition than we met.
That fat piece of **** cares about Dana White and only Dana White.
Never really got into the unis convo but the only Adidas I've ever owned is shell toes and a UM jersey or shirt..I woke up to great news today (I work overnight)
That too.
@Confidence1000 …get in here brother. This dude just said to the other dude that he wants “the pipe.” What in the ***aloon **** is going on around here?!?
b/c ADs are fundraisers and not executives on the level of Joe E, Manny C, and Rudy F
I mean look at the schools like Bama, OU, UGA, etc who largely haven’t changed their look in my lifetime. The unis don’t look super blocky. Then when they do something different, like UGA’s all whites last week, it’s cleaner than the stuff we get. Our Miami Nights uniforms look freaking awful rn, at least imo.
I literally have one hope and request. Don’t change the goddam helmet. White. That’s it. If that means no black out unis so be it. The white helmet with the U is just as iconic or noticeable as any helmet in CFB. Don’t touch it ever.
Adidas did give us some good ultra boosts. But I’m ready to get some real Nikes built for us again.Yall can wear shoes no matter what apparel deal we have
Keep winning and guys like this might turn into fans. Not all of them. Not most of them. But some of them. People love to be a part of a winning team. Its human nature. Its realistically why so many of us are fans.
The issue is that the "Nike owns grassroots basketball" people forget that it's an NIL world now. You have some kids that are going to be loyal to the brand beyond all reason, but most of these kids understand that if a school they want to play at is giving them a better NIL package than a school that has the "Right" apparel manufacturer, it is stupid to take less money. Adidas hasn't been nearly the hinderance to recruiting people believe, especially since NIL came on the scene.
Adults are far more loyal to these shoe brands than most of these young athletes are. As long as Miami has a top end coach that knows how to recruit and leverage resources, the program will be just fine. Keep in mind, it's the MONEY Nike is offering that matters, the logo is secondary. This is a BUSINESS arrangement first.
