except the WD thing. I used to worry about the brand but as I get older I just find shizz that fits and looks cool to me. Sometimes, not always the quality isn't that far off.

I like the Nike stuff, fits me well, and I feel cool. Harder to feel cool as my 20s seem further away and kids take over my life in my 30s.

While these contracts are definitely rising quickly, some of the numbers are also getting padded to give schools bragging rights..

Except they aren't at all. UA stock is in the tank, they're losing market share rapidly to both adidas and Nike, and their footwear offerings are lackluster to say the least.
UA got lucky from a marketing standpoint riding the success of Steph, Speith, Brady, Cam & Bryce Harper in 2014/2015, but once that flash was gone, they came screaming back to earth.
Like it or not, and I know most people here don't, adidas is killing it right now.

recently signed up Georgia Tech for a similar, long-term deal. In the newspaper article an Adidas spokesperson was quoted as saying that their college marketing strategy was to collect about 15 Power -5 conference schools, conceding the remainder to Nike (and apparently a few to Under Armour and Russell). Clearly the swoosh is what many kids look for, and times being what they are, might in some cases even swing the recruiting deal.

When sexbots are what the kids really want these days. And they'll be LEGAL. I'd just hate to be the guy who has to clean them up afterwards

...the $160m Victoria's Secret deal.

Still pretty interesting, and actually amazing in a sad way, that two of the biggest scumbags in collegiate athletics both coach at the same school at the same time. Their frickin names even sound almost exactly alike.
Pitino and Petrino. A match made in heaven. Or apparently hell, all things considered.
