The Bowl Game against the Ducks will be ******* Lit.

This sounds like the Lane Train is leaving the station with top shelf assistants paid for by Nike, plus a new uniform deal with the Adidas Buyout paid for by Nike.

The only problem being that UM has no AD.

Am I wrong?

Nike tried to lowball UM on their last apparel deal but now they’re not only going to buy out the remainder of the Adidas contract but also pay UM more money? Does anyone realize how ridiculous that all sounds?

Personally I want whatever company offers the biggest deal. I’m a grown man, I don’t wear football jerseys.

It's a business decision. You got to believe when Nike and UM originally agreed to terms they were thinking UM was going to be committed to football and UM could be one of their flagship programs. From Nike standpoint UM screwed them too.

If UM is serious about committing to football any apparel business sees that as a potential cash cow. Why wouldn't they want to be part of that? And, of course, people are missing the whole Mario connection to all of this.

Who actually shops for team gear on the supplier's website? That hasn't been a place to get gear for the better part of two decades. Most people hit Fanatics, local team stores and the like for their gear. I got curious and went over to Jordan's website, and outside of some boilerplate stuff, there was nothing there. Adidas teams more with other merchants in regards to gear, you get your shoes from adidas.com or the app, but if you want a Miami sweatshirt, you'll most likely end up on Fanatics or a local shop's website.

I get it, we have a bunch of old heads that refuse to let go of the Nike hypebeast stuff. Never mind the fact that the designs and the like are pretty similar, the materials used are similar. Again, a forward thinking organization would see the potential of Miami to be a national brand, provided the program is doing well and would invest accordingly. Adidas is doing that. Nike won't, and never will. If I'm running a department, I won't team with other companies that don't treat me as a priority. We weren't a priority for Nike, even when things were going well.

To be real they were the first ones who gave the information about Blake being fired weeks ago. They jus gave Tim Reynolds the credit!

Hating? Calling someone out who loves to put out BS and loves the attention from it is not hating. Dude has been wrong on commits, coaches, etc.

Regarding this whole nike talk, Steve Feinberg says the same thing and he is about as trustworthy as you can have it.
