Ya'll truly overrate some of the most insignificant crap. These kids are about MONEY, period as they should be because this is a business. These aren't fans just showing up to play for three years, they want the best opportunity to maximize their earnings.
Never mind the fact that if a player wants to have an outside apparel deal, they can do that now. There are kids that have deals with companies like Under Armour(Cavinder Twins), while playing at an Adidas school. If Jeremiah Smith signed a deal with Adidas tomorrow, I doubt Ohio State would give a ****.
