It's a shame the ACC doesn't place the same restrictions on coaches and admins as they do on SAs. Knowing that coaches and ADs have inside knowledge of a school's operations and secrets, it makes more sense to restrict a coach/admin from going to another school inside the conference for 1 year. It's BS someone can legitimately do something to hurt one school knowing that it will give them and advantage when they go to the other school that they will compete against. Not saying that's what Lazy AD did...but he sure didn't help GT on the way out to cash his Clemson checks...
This is interesting. Are there any other instances of this in the ACC outside of DRad and Kevin White (Miami and Duke)?
It's hard. Can they realistically limit a guy's job prospects? Considering an AD can certainly hamstring a competitor ahead of leaving, it's a question that should be asked at least.
Again, I'm hoping he does the same ahead of leaving Clem's son.
ETA: I agree with you, @Peacone36 that the enforcing party on your avatar thingy needs to be on the clock to get something done. If not, he should be subject to the same punishment. Does he not know how long folks have been trying to knock you down a peg?

When I signed on with my first job out of college, I had to sign a non-compete clause that barred me from working with any of our competitors for 1 year no matter wherever they did business...which was around the world. I don't see why the same couldn't be applied to ADs and coaches to go to teams within the conference. They're not saying you can't take the job, you just can't work for them for 1 year.
Essentially, that's what the ACC is doing when they financially strangle a kid from transferring within the conference, and an SA has a shorter eligibility lifespan (4-5 years) than coaches and ADs potentially have.

True. I thought last years were the best we have had in nearly a decade. I hope we stick to the same style with Nike or Adidas, while adding something different once or twice a year.

WOW...That is really cool!!! I would love for our SA to be that excited, I can't wait to find out who we sign with. I do have a question, any chance we can get the Jordan Brand at the table, I think that may better than a deal with Nike, UA, or Adidas.

I didn't watch the video. But, I'm guessing they're the white and Carolina blue ones? If so they're ugly as hell but if I was 19-22 years old I'd be happy as **** to get them for free.

The Jordan Brand is a Nike's subsidiary and actually outfits Michigan and UNC football with Jordan Brand gear with the Jumpman logo, not the Nike logo.. So yes while Jordan Brand is a subsidiary of Nike, the apparel deals (Jordan Brand or Nike) seem to be diffrent. Not sure if GT could get a Jordan Brand Deal for all of the GTAA teams, but why not ask. Seems to me the SA would want Jordan Brand first, Nike second, than UA and/or Adidas...

Not different deals and it's all through Nike.
Anyway don't get your hopes up GT checks literally none of the boxes for Nike to give Tech the most exclusive line.

So any team with a Nike deal can wear the Jordan brand and jumpman logo?? If that is the case we need to sign a deal with Nike ASAP!

Nike's sponsorships are done through a tier system.
There's Tier 1 for the likes of Bama and tOSU
Tier 2 for teams like UGA and Clemson
Jumpman is a separate Tier that currently only Michigan and UNC are a part of. Michigan because they are a Tier 1 school anyway and UNC because Jordan went there.
Look for jumpman to remain scarce for a while before Nike truly opens it up.
