Adidas loves Tennessee more than Indiana?  lol

Inside sources at Tennessee confirm Adidas has presented terms to be the new apparel sponsor for all UT athletics. With this new deal, Adidas will make Tennessee the face of its brand in College athletics along with a hefty check north of $200 million for a 10 year deal.  https://x.com/RGW_News/status/1924548451053834451

Getting shoved further down the totem pole with Penn State making the switch.

Well, I guess on the bright side for Penn St Adidas can only screw up those unis so badly.

Circumstances change…just like Cig was re-upped based on performance, it’s time for Dolson to get on the horn and look to immediately renegotiate our weak deal w/triple stripe. We’ve always been treated like the red headed step child in basketball. IU football has been an afterthought for them. Penn State and Tennessee both get over 3x  our annual funding. Kansas, Louisville, Nebraska, Miami, Arizona State all have better deals, worth $M’s more per year. We’re hot - use the leverage…or look elsewhere for the future.

Totally agree.

A new deal could help both sides.  Things have changed at IU and a whole new setup and contract with our apparel partner is very much needed.
