Just bumping my post for the quoted phrase; I told ya’ll I stay tapped in.

Lol; UCLA haven’t been w/ Adidas for a min. That final 4 run they were in between UA & Jordan. Now they are Jordan Brand. So even when UCLA r emerged as a b-ball program, it was under a different brand.

This is true: Top 12 selling endorsed shoes right now: -Nike/Jordan Brand: 7 (Jordan, LBJ, KD, Giannis, Kyrie, Westbrook, Williamson) -Adidas: 3 (Harden, Lillard, Rose) -UA: 1 (Curry) -Anta: (Thompson) Hopefully Kobe will be back on the Nike squad, and I know Luka will be getting his own...

Imhho, I believe Adidas NIL market will be more centered & focused around basketball. The recruiting scandals didn’t involve football or baseball, but rather basketball. Their two crown jewel schools are UL (due to nepotism from the former AD), & KU. Hence, those two received the biggest...

Ahhhh; yeah u’re right. It was the wire fraud chit. Totally forgot about that key component, which is y the Feds got involved.

Playing Devil’s Advocate, I would argue Phil & the board turning UO into UNike has paid off great dividends. Have they won any Nat’l titles? No; but let’s be honest, there’s 127-130 FBS teams in a given season, w/ only 1 team winning the Nat’l title. Yet, they’ve gotten caliber of recruits that...

Still can’t believe Adidas missed on LBJ. Lol. The dude was wearing their gear his entire HS career. Lol. Two baffling misses in their history: MJ & LBJ. We probably wouldn’t even know about Nike had Adidas signed MJ & I’m pretty sure if Adidas signed LBJ they would’ve made up some ground...

U know, this is an interesting point. I’m wondering w/ this new revelation, would there be any appeals for those who were convicted of doing this very thing. That’s a cold game if these guys r doing bids for the company that’s about to do the same chit legally.

No worries man; I didn’t take it as u calling me out. Lol. I was saying in general. I would think this will be more geared towards b-ball only b/c that’s where the majority of financial return comes from regarding players moving forward to the next level, selling shoes.

Bro, if Nike did this I would have the same reaction. I was speaking in gist about how collegiate sports is sliding to the AAU circuit where kids r teaming up & sports apparel companies r “luring” kids to play for said sponsored schools. It’s all part of the game now, so if it helps us, I ain’t...

Low key they were already doing this, so it’s smart on their behalf to take full advantage of the loop hole. & Now, it’s game on w/ these AAU camps, and schools. SMH. What we knew of college sports just went to purgatory.
