The End of Russell Athletics

[nickp91]

It’s time for Under Armour, Nike, and Adidas to sign these contracts with CIAA, SIAC and SWAC

No shade but in this case we as a conference might actually need Grambling, SU and JSU to sign individual deals first since the conference caters to them first. I predict most will sign with Nike or UA with an Adidas outlier here or there

Adidas - Prairie View

Considering budget constraints, I wouldn't mind all 4 HBCU conferences negotiating a deal with the same company. I just think Russel was whack. Maybe UA and become a test market for new looks/gear. Could work out to benefit all parties

Any leverage the conference commissioners can gain by uniting would be great. I like the look of UA, but from an aesthetics perspective Adidas is the way to go.

Only downside of Under Armor is AHTLETES DONT like the feel or their shoes..... and they are ugly! I would stick with Adidas or Nike.
