Why doesn't the SWAC sign with Jordan Brand

And I'm trying to figure why you think it's any of your business what anyone else think their business is.

Probably because somebody stated that in a open PUBLIC forum for the PUBLIC to view. If they wouldn't have stated it PUBLICLY I probably wouldn't have given it a second thought.

Yep that's right,

So all those schools that were looking to do their own deal with have to wait.

I say it was well played by Duer to get the Nike deal...just think about no company will sign on with any of our programs knowing that we still wear Nike cleats except Russell. Of course Duer is getting a kickback from the Russell signing back with the SWAC deal but we all know that will never come out especially after the Nike contract fiasco...

We've had the Nike contract for years.

Probably renewed. We had Nike for shoes when Stump was at SU also.

You are right the Nike shoe deal has been in place for a while but they have added now where teams can get Nike game balls where as now and year prior they were getting Spalding game balls...

Thats why I said before this deal is subpar only thing has changed is gameballs..

Subpar to whom (in FCS)?
 
JSUDMJ2004 said:
yes. Just ask Southern players and equipment guy how they feel about receiving 1 pair of cleats from Nike for the entire season...only Grambling I know has 2 pair of cleats...

Man just answer the question. Subpar to whom? What are other FCS schools getting? How does our deal compare to other FCS schools/conferences, especially in the South?

TN State, Jax St, has better. you look it up other FCS schools and come back and tell us...
 



It looks like we are the only conference with Conference wide deals. I am not sure if the MEAC has conference wide. But I believe they do.

The best thing about that deal (I guess) is that it allows them to be uniform across all sports (compared to what they were like the SWAC) and that they can buy apparel at a discount. Could the SWAC school afford to spend even half that if we had to buy our own shoes from Nike (or get a discount like CMU if we wanted extra shoes)?

That's because that's a total apparel deal. It's not a shoe deal

Can you name another conference with conference wide deals?

Bruh Ya'll So Stuck On the conference wide deal as if it makes some big difference. It very may well be but you have yet to show any evidence to support your claim. Now to answer your question the Southland conference does.

Now that may change because Abilene Christian who is in transition just sign a deal with nike I think. So when their transition is done they may be the only school that has an independent apparel contract.
