[QUOTE="Techster, post: 392194, member: 360"] GT was a victim of bad timing this go around...and it seems like every time a contract is up for negotiation. 1. We announced that we were separating from Russell (and not going back), and I believe Russell made it known they were getting out of the NCAA business. 2. UA, who most thought was the favorite, started hemoraging money, their stock tanked, and couldn't afford to come to the table strong like we all thought they would (and they probably wanted to). They'd already backed the truck up for several other schools. 3. Nike was never seriously a contender from all reports, and their offer wasn't even being entertained seriously. 4. Adidas probably knew all of the above, and the numbers from reports reflect it. No pressure Paul Johnson and Josh Pastner....it's up to them to make our two biggest revenue drivers attractive for the next open window. [/QUOTE]
