Tried to tell ya’ll. Lol. I laughed at reading this. James signed a stupid deal. And like I said, NO ONE SIGNS A 12 Yr deal. U sign a 6-8 yr deal, ideally. The market changes. The reason y UL got that deal b/c of the dirt Adidas put UL athletics in. Even then, it’s was a 10 yr deal. Lol
I was alluding to this for a min. I may not be an insider for this program, but when it comes to apparel deals, I have a little knowledge just b/c of clientele & friends who r directly connected in the biz. It was a dumb contract signing by Blake for a litany or reasons, but I’m glad one of my main concerns was published.
Again, I’m not sure y Blake is highly thought of from our admin; this dude bleeds $ on the back end. This deal let me know how competent, or better yet, incompetent, he is as an AD…well, this & how he handled The Golden situation.
