Once again, the problem is that retailer will not carry GT gear. It doesn't matter if it looks good or does not look good. Retailers will not carry it. To get ANY gear, GT fans need to buy what is available so that retailers will begin to carry more. It is the fault of the fans. Section103...

Even online retailers have the same issue. To have stock of an item, you have to have a commitment. Somebody has to produce the item. Somebody has to store the item. Those have costs associated with them. Amazon could carry the gear, but I think in a lot of situations Amazon doesn't have...

Yet, people on here continually blame the "uniform" provider for the lack of swag on store shelves. It happens every single year.

The uniform deal with Adidas is for "uniforms" and for marketing that Adidas gets from having the Adidas logo on GT uniforms. People continually misunderstand. Even though GT is an "Adidas school", fan apparel can be made from Nike, Under Armor, etc. There is no exclusivity given to Adidas...

I remember him posting about that. If I remember correctly, he said that he couldn't get approval for that shirt as an officially licensed GT shirt. I think he said that because he couldn't get it officially licensed that he made it a different color to not have any issues with the licensing...

Something that I posted earlier that I want to highlight. I am not affiliated with Section103 and I do not know him personally. I think he is one guy who is trying to market and sell GT gear. I have purchased from him several times and have been pleased with the quality of his shirts. If you...

So if you were a retailer, what GT products would you order and put on the shelf? Would you get high quality dress shirts, that won't have enough people buy them? Would you get inexpensive low quality t-shirts that not enough people would buy? No matter what you get, it isn't going to sell...

Typical refrains I have heard for decades: "When they make something in gold I'll buy it, but I'm not buying anything in navy" Even though almost all of the tshirts I see in stores are gold. "I won't buy the wrong shade of gold" "I want nice quality products and I'm not going to buy cheap...

It is kind of funny that the system blocked out the name of a large sports retailer because it could also be used as a vulgarity.

Your post kind of implied that GT and WF were #13 and #14. GT is not close to the bottom.

The biggest problem with fan apparel is that nobody buys GT fan apparel or swag. It doesn't matter if it is the correct color or not. It doesn't matter if it is expensive or inexpensive. Nobody will buy it. IF your local ****'s or Academy Sports has GT apparel, it will likely be a small...

Based solely on viewership? The latest average viewer rankings I saw had GT at number 7 in the ACC. Wake was 13th and Duke was 14th. GT's schedule has not been filled with Alcorn State. In fact, GT's OOC schedule for the last couple of decades has been much, much better than the great...

McMurphy has anonymous quotes from multiple sources. They are all anonymous so I take them with a grain of salt. However, the quotes include things that I have said in this thread about FSU not being an attractive partner based on the way they are handling themselves: I haven't seen many...

They already have Clemson vs the mutts and Clemson vs LSU twice in the next four years. They also have FSU vs the mutts and FSU vs Alabama twice in the next four years. Those are already scheduled.

I didn't just come to that conclusion. However, FSU does not have a clear path to exit the ACC currently. They are like a person who bought a new Range Rover for $120k, and now doesn't like the car or the payments. They want to get rid of it, but they still owe $115k and the car is only worth...

SMU wanted to be in a P4 conference and was willing to pay to get into it. What does that have to do with this discussion? Texas got paid more than others in the Big12, but left anyway. The NFL is a good example of how evenly splitting media revenue can improve the entire system for all...

There is as much chance of that as there is of the Georgia BOR or Georgia legislature to tell the mutts to pay money to GT to even out the athletic revenue. EDIT: I also believe that FSU wants out of the conference eventually no matter what. When they are able to, they will leave. It is kind...

I am not 100% certain, but I believe it is split evenly. Before last year there was some unevenness in revenue split, but it had to do with bowl allowances and things like that. Last year the conference voted to give "incentive" bonuses to schools that achieve post-season success. (or at least...

I'm not sure I understand your belief that there is a contractual obligation to have equal pay. The ESPN contract most likely doesn't have anything like that in it. They pay the ACC for content that the ACC owns. There is zero reason for the ESPN contract to have anything in it about how the...

For ESPN in particular, advertisement revenue is still much much smaller than subscriber revenue. Subscriber revenue is decreasing, so ESPN is certainly looking for other avenues of revenue. However, eyes on games is not THE ONLY thing that matters as you seem to be saying. The ACC Network...
