Well isn’t the workaround there to allow the players to be eligible to sign their own endorsements/get paid for their own likeness? That way the money isn’t coming from the athletic associations/schools, and it’s driven by popularity/performance of the individual player.

I’m not sure if that’s a good comparison. There’s not a whole lot of money in and around minor league baseball Certainly not enough of a fan base anywhere to fill up an 80,000-105,000 seat stadium week in, week out like in college football. There’s HUGE money in and around FBS football and D1...

I think so, on both levels (end of college football as we know it, and it hurting Tech football). I don’t think most programs could support paying athletes (would have to pay all athletes, even non-revenue generating). Or if they left it at allowing players to be able to receive compensation...

Interesting. Haven’t seen that on my end. Everything I’ve ordered, once it’s been allowed to be placed in cart and paid for, has arrived within 7 business days (has to get to the store, and then be packaged for shipping). I’m 45 minutes from the store, and I’ve learned to just opt for in...

The bookstore website may list things prematurely (corporate does all of that), but in talking to them extensively this year (bought about $2500 worth of stuff from the physical bookstore so far this year), you can’t actually place an order for it (add it to your cart and pay for it) until it’s...

Fanatics will rarely get things before the bookstore. Especially adidas.

As a clothing retailer (I am), the constant problem with adidas is that the sizing is inconsistent, even within the same style. You can pick up two Adidas pieces off the rack that are the exact same style, same size on the tag, and have two completely different fits. One of the reasons I don’t...

Hmmm...that’s a good question, and not a pattern I’ve paid close enough attention to to notice. I’ll pay more attention to that to see if this may be something.

I would never buy it if I couldn’t try it on. In “Game Mode”, I wear everything from a medium to xl. Adidas.com wouldn’t have a gold one, anyway. That would be bookstore only. And the only place I’d try it on.

I’d say, like I always have with Adidas (even before I stopped selling it), to try it on. That’s why I will not buy adidas unless I physically try each piece on. Even if I’ve already bought that exact style in a different color. It happens way too frequently with all Adidas apparel. Case in...

I hope we get that bomber jacket. In gold. We need a good jacket.

Maybe slightly more snug than the white/gold or the blue/gold from this year. Those I can wear a large, but this an XL felt just a bit better.

Yeah, I don’t think the ones ordered from Fanatics will arrive before the game.

At the bookstore. I didn’t order from fanatics.

Wearing the cape day jersey, gold cap. Just got to figure out which pants to wear. I’m thinking the khaki.

In all seriousness, I did think Graham played really well, considering he was running for his life and the play calling was terrible. As much as I like TO, I think Graham should start with TO on the field in a “slash” position. And the gold numbers looked better this week for some reason. I...

Bright spots? That’s just the stars our players are seeing after getting hammered again this week.

It’s like they aren’t prepped for ANY situation they get into.

27-10 Temple. I hate to say that, and hope I’m wrong. But predicting on what I’ve seen so far this year.

At this point, I think it’s some kind of internal running joke regarding us and the color gold. There’s no reason we can’t match any of our golds.
