Popular Post HoosierAloha Posted May 26, 2016 Popular Post Posted May 26, 2016 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....... First) [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] about the video game reference Second) I can't remember if it was on here or somewhere else but the chess vs checkers comment is applicable here. 3) it blows my mind that 99% of the people on here, whether they liked Adidas or not, accepted the deal and moved on. There's one who has it all figured out and is so much smarter than the AD, coach, president, and can shoot better than Yogi, if he were only a bit taller and a little darker would be stealing the MVP from Steph. There's an old Japanese proverb 出るくぎは打たれる。 In the military, you'd be called a doucher and have your ass kicked. It's good to have differing opinions on here but when you become a mosquito you need to be swatted.

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 People, people, people. It's just a matter of time before the next deal is announced and the UCLA crowd will be singing in their beer that they got a bad deal and could of, should of done better. Every new deal that's announced just ups the ante for the next one. mdn82, Hoosiers219, HoosierAloha and 2 others 5 Quote

I don't think Kentucky or Kansas could... It'd be a Pac-12 or ACC team IMO. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Dalton26 Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 Personally I hate Adidas and I can't stand any of their products but I love the deal in regards to IU. HoosierAloha, ALASKA HOOSIER, Class of '66 Old Fart and 3 others 6 Quote

bhaggard89 Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 About this brand deal, we need to remember IU is huge in the world of college soccer. And adidas is number 1 in soccer shoes. And even if we switched brands, the basketball jerseys would change in one tiny little way- the logo wouldn't be the adidas logo. That's it. Those jerseys are iconic and no one is going to ask to change them Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners colonel06 1 Quote

That's it. And Glass has become more open to changing jerseys. I wish we'd get Nike because the back of their jerseys are awesome. We could have all 5 banners on the back.
