Adidas definitely won’t help in recruiting lol nobody even wears or uses adidas anymoreThe Nike deal was $1 million a year. People on TOS are saying this adidas deal would be worth $15-$20 million a year. If this deal can directly improve our NIL budget, then I am all for it. But, it seems like none of these "money plays" like the Pilot sponsor ever really lead to improvements in recruiting. This is a big move and if it's done, we need to have their best guys working on our jerseys and we gotta have a big jump in recruiting or else it'll backfire.
DP probably knows the specifics but it sounds like people are comparing two different figures. $1M sounds like the cash to the school whereas the $15-20M sounds like cash + apparel. If that $15M-$20M is cash I need to take a break and make sure I don't have Adidas in my portfolio.The Nike deal was $1 million a year.

The overall deal with Nike is $1.2mil in cash to the school and $3.5mil in apparel, per year. So $4.7mil/year totalDP probably knows the specifics but it sounds like people are comparing two different figures. $1M sounds like the cash to the school whereas the $15-20M sounds like cash + apparel.

If you look back at the last few years of our Adidas unis they actually got the orange matched on all those things you mentionedAs a product of the 80s and 90s, I must admit, I’m a Nike whore.
Looking forward to the Adidas unis with a different color orange for the Jersey, helmet T and pant stripe...
