[QUOTE="GTFLETCH, post: 292819, member: 1668"] Well Louisville is a Top Basketball Program and they have a national reach UCLA is in California and in Los Angeles, If UA is going to Compete with Nike they need a presence in Cali While I love GT, we are closer to teams like Rutgers, Purdue, Maryland, Clemson, Northwestern, Washington State, Georgia who all have deals less than 4M per year. What I am concerned about is that everyone knows we get 2M a year from Russell and we are walking away from Rusell, so why would anyone give us 5-7M when they can get us for 2.5M per year?? That would be a win for the GTAA, a increase of 500K and a needed change to either UA, Adidas or Nike. I think our only hope is for Adidas and UA to get into a bidding war(however that may not even happen as Nike may dump some 2018 teams like Iowa and Iowa State to offer more $$ To Bama, UNC, and Oregon) and we end up at 4M per year from one of those companies. However what does give me a little hope is that NC State signed an extension deal with aididas and they get 6.5M per year. So there may be a chance that Tech can get 5-7M if NC state did.. [/QUOTE]
