Exactly! Which is why BU is lucky to get a new coach with a record of coaching and recruiting success to lead the Braves to the next level (MVC titles, MVC Tourney Championships)..I envision multiple championships with this new AD & MBB Head Coach (and hopefully the new University prez)Originally posted by tornado View PostBUilding for the Future

Indeed the offer Nike gave Michigan was the "lowest" offer they had - the adidas deal was monetarily BETTER..Originally posted by tornado View Post
and yet Michigan goes with the lesser Nike deal!
Maybe they know something...

question for anyone - do they have or do you know where to buy a nice Bradley logo LONG SLEEVE polo or rugby shirt?
Here is all I come up with for men's LS shirts via the BU bookstore web site
There are some knock-off sites that sell Bradley shirts but due to the licensing arrangement - none of those guys sells anything that even looks remotely like a Bradley logo - so I wouldn't want to five any $$ to those ripoffs.
But if they are going to be so strict that only the bookstore sells BU apparel, then why such a tiny selection? Every other school has them.Comment

I can't speak to the quality of the shirts here, but they are long sleeved polo's and the logo looks like the shield we now use, at least to me.Gotta stop feeding the trolls.

yes, thanks - odd that they only have the polo in black and do not sell either of Bradley's two primary colors, red or whiteComment

Here are a couple more in red and white. Oddly, none of them are Adidas-

UCLA signs record shoe deal for $280 million
as you recall, Illini didn't get as much $$$
...funny- I remember not too long ago a "shoe deal" simply meant that the shoe company was willing to GIVE the team BRAND NEW shoes if they agreed to have all the players wear them!
...times have changed....I recall once when Coach Mo opened his trunk at school to get his kids' bookbag out - and the trunk was loaded with boxes of brand new Nike basketball shoes....
it seemed like an incredible deal to have all those FREE SHOES!!! - but nowadays, it's not a good deal unless there's $200 million involved...
as you can see - only the really big time football schools are getting the big DOLLAR deals...
the smaller schools like Bradley get little or no cash with the deal - they just get the apparell
...up to $110-200K worth

That is a lot of money. Football, because of its popularity, is driving the athletic apparel companies, the NCAA and conference realignment. I remember a time, back in the 70's, when local sporting good companies negotiated with high schools and colleges for their shoe business. If you needed a new pair of shoes during the basketball season, in the Peoria area, you had to get approval from your athletic director and then go to Keenan's in downtown Peoria, to get your new shoes.
Companies use to pay to advertise. Now the big name companies such as Nike, Adidas, Reebok, American Eagle, and etc., are charging us, incredible prices for a junk t-shirt, made in China, Vietnam, Bangladesh or etc., so we can wear it and be cool, while advertising their name brand. Sometimes I think we've lost our minds.Comment
