[QUOTE="GTFLETCH, post: 243241, member: 1668"] First Russell Athletic seems to not be getting out of the college business as they just extended WKU, which will run from July 1, 2016–June 30, 2021! LINK [URL]http://www.wkusports.com/genrel/083115aaa.html[/URL] However They may not want to pay Power-5 sponsorship price as most Flagship Colleges are getting 8-10M per year. It also appears that GT could walk away from Russell in 2018 and sign with Nike and get a deal close to what they have with Russell. For example Washington State University just signed a 10 year deal for 23M. LINK [URL]http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/nikes_washington_state_contract_revealed[/URL] I do not care who we sign with as I can buy UA/NIKE/Adidas/RA GT Gear as it is, I want the most money from the deal, however I do hear all the time that by not having Nike we lose out on recruits (I do not buy it) However in 2018, if GTAA is willing to stay at the same type contract level we are currently we might be able to change to Nike! However I will be prepared to hear from all the GT fans who are upset when their UGA neighbors tell them they make double to triple more from Nike.. But with fans they always want to complain about something! [/QUOTE]
