I too would take half the deal and run. But interesting to look at the comparisons
U of N has 25K students. GT has about the same.
UofN rules the state of Nebraska with 2 M people
GT is in the city of Atlanta with 6 M in the metro area
For FB they sell out at 92K and we average around 50K.
UofN is not a marquis football program in the Big I. Very solid upper level but not Mich or OSU.
No BB program to speak of - very solid olympic sport programs.
Their TV exposure is what - 1.2 or 1.5 ours? One national game against a Mich or OSU?
Don't know ratings difference when the teams are on TV.

Point being - they have more value to Addidas than GT. Full stop.
But I am not sure it is multiples more value.
How this turns out will be interesting.

I wonder if the influx of a cash given a good new shoe deal is taken into account. We can be as good as Nebraska in foozeball and a ton better than them in basketball. Projections have to be taken into account I would assume.

Depends on what you mean by "better". Addidas doesn't directly care about wins/losses. Only insomuch as it leads to popularity. But popularity and seeing their shoes etc. from some degree from wins. How is that for double speak :)
