He's an UA guy and part of his deal at Jackson St. was getting them as a UA school. I personally believe this is a deal breaker for him. USF's deal with Adidas is through 2026 and I'm sure buying out of that deal would be pretty costly for us. Is that something we could afford and would we concede on that???

I wonder if UA would be willing to help with our buyout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. I refreshed my memory with UA and our transition to Adidas. The folks over at Daily Stampede laid it all out pretty clearly when we switched. Apparently we had been with UA for 10 years and while UA had the right of first refusal, they didn't even counter Adidas's offer to us (which was pretty **** low). This shows they didn't value our brand and with the state of our revenue sports, I bet they value it even less now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought UA was bleeding money a few years back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
