Interesting I didn’t see the word adidas anywhere… could this mean we’re switching up our sponsorship? 

My understanding is both the Adidas and Coke contracts will be negotiated soon, including looking at other vendors.  I suspect a full RFP for both.  Similar to what happened with the book store recently and the move from Barnes & Noble to Follet.

Doesn't for me and I don't have an Indystar subscription.

Nike and Pepsi. I guess throw in Dr. Pepper as well since Pepsi distributes it in this area.

I can for sure say the Coke deal is done. My brother has negotiated with IU for Pepsi the last two times. Pepsi offered more money over 4 years but Coke offered more money upfront. They went with Coke both times. This last time they told Pepsi they were staying with Coke before even hearing Pepsi's offer. Then after hearing it, still said they were staying with Coke. Said they were going to do the same with Adidas.

Curious, as a result of your brother, are you a Pepsi guy?

That is just business malpractice. In what works has Adidas been a positive for Indiana sports?

If I remember correctly, you get so many freebies each month... eventually you hit the pay wall.

I am not, my family has always been Coke. The only Pepsi I will drink is Mountain Dew. His own family still orders Coke, but he has been at Pepsi for the last 25 years of working there.

Not even listening to new deals before making up their minds? Bad business.

Pepsi > Coke.

Is there is pop that sells more than Mountain Dew? I'd assume it's only Coca-cola or Pepsi or Diet Coke. Mountain would murder at games.

Off topic, but you guys need to drink water, not chemicals + sugar.

Or beer, or gin, or bourbon, or tequila.

Or coffee. NO! Not that coffee; really good coffee.

Now don’t bark back until you have adjusted.

My brother says Mountain Dew is the biggest seller by a longshot but I don't know that for sure. He could be making that up.

That's what makes not listening even worse. They won't listen to offers from companies that produce a superior product to the companies they currently have deals with.

Seriously, though, if the companies know that IU feels this way then there is no way they're giving IU the best deal possible. That would be bad business on their part.

Or is it brilliant business?

I often tell potential vendors that I have a great deal from their competition that I'm planning on taking.  Then you see really sweetheart deals get dropped on you.

Never trust anybody who tells you to drink less beer.

IU - where we supposedly have a top10 business school yet don’t understand the definition of what a short term gain for a long term loss means. SMH….

 

why would they stick with Adidas?

Yes, but you have to then take the sweetheart deal, which I’m not sure we’d do lmao.
