I thought he was going to China?

Every year Crean has that player we ask wtf did he do to get that much run? Troy was that player for the last 3 years.

Jesus. A shoe brand does not "help" anywhere other than recruiting. What don't you get about that? This is not NBA2K16. You don't just throw **** at the wall and see what sticks. This is a truthful business where money talks. UCLA and Michigan are in a little bit of a different position to ask shoe companies for more money due to football. Their cases are quite a bit different. I don't expect you to understand that either. The only business deals you have ever been a part of are what video game should I buy today? Get back with me when you can actually put some numbers of what Nike was offering versus what Adidas is offering. Anyone with half of a sense of business would say, "Take the most money". Because it is guaranteed money. It isn't potential money. On the next contract if Nike offers more money, Glass should take it. Its that simple. It is not about brand loyalty to me. You keep talking potential. You have 0 clue on that. They only have as much potential as the brand is going to market them. Is Nike or UA going to take IU national? If IU took a cut on the deal and they were guaranteed a certain amount of marketing, then sure. But that isn't how these deals are set up. When is the last time you have seen a commercial for a college basketball jersey? Mind Blown.......

Well if Nike and UA agree with you they will pay up on the next contract. Over the life of this contract Adidas paid more. You really need to accept that. That is the contract that matters. As for the "they are fine with being mediocre". That is just asinine. It is not Fred Glass job to make any shoe company more money. It is for him to take the best deal with most money

So you want to discuss that history when it is beneficial to your argument? I would love to see your business model suggestion other than their product sucks. That is about all you have said. If that is all you are gonna say then ok. We can move on. What has potential? During the negotiations neither company offered much in terms of potential because IU is still with Adidas in spite of (e)X-Hoosier not wearing it.

I know you are too young to understand this but part of "this is Indiana" is Adidas. Settle like we are in the SWAC? Lol dude. Their money pays all the same.

Also, IU sells its basketball program on its tradition. That is a large part of them sticking with ADIDAS. I am sure IU is doing just fine with their deal.

You are discussing sales potential and not money offered to a program. Big difference.

For some. Good thing we got the best deal for IU.

Ha it's been this way since last April. Nothing has changed.

They looked at Rutgers and said, "You don't think we can be in the convo with you?"

Well at least they didn't affect your shooting. Not playing you in horse.

Damn man. What scholarship offers were you getting out of high school? I have been friends with ex Hoosiers that couldn't do what you did. 5'10"? I bet you were still getting D2 and 3 offers with those numbers.

Ah to be young again...

XHoosier by a hair

That is what I am saying. I don't trust Larry to do anything intelligent anymore.

You have to be a semester within graduation to walk at the ceremony.

I wonder if a middle of the pack team like the Pacers would trade a PG type player to the Celtics for multiple picks.

I hope the Lakers get Ingram.

Not a Celtics fan but I was too

Played out like it was supposed to

If Boston gets the 1 or 2? Damn...

Either Boston, LA, or 76ers

You broke it!
