[QUOTE="ClydeBrick, post: 150140, member: 1329"] There never will be an answer to the uniform supplier issue: Imagine if GT lived in a world where these were not an issue - academics, facilities, scheme (football), conference - and the manufacturer of the uniforms is a deal breaker for recruits. Even then, GT will still have only a one in three chance that the manufacturer GT has is the one the recruit wants. (assuming that Nike/UA/Adidas are the popular choices) What will we do then? Lament about how 5* Joe Schmo went to another school because GT has Nike and UA is where it is at for him? ***** The way to make the discussion moot will be to find out what the figures are when the contract comes up for renewal and if Russell is still offering the best deal, come up with a way to bridge the delta between the Russell deal and the best Nike/UA/Adidas/etc. deal. Start a Gofundme / Kickstarter or write a check. Might want to start soon as there was $1.3M/year between GT's Russell deal and Clemson's Nike deal according to the information that has been linked in this thread. The bottom line in this discussion is money. How many GT basketball fans wish MBob had another couple million to throw around? What impacts the basketball program more; what the uniform manufacturer is or who the head coach is? Money. [/QUOTE]
