I don't know how much of this agreement was in the works before our new AD was hired, but the new AD gets the credit, and I support this decision. Thumbs up!
A critical line in the announcement. We need all the help we can get...

"The agreement includes marketing entitlements that will complement Under Armour's marketing campaigns through print and venue presence at the University."
UA is in bad shape, so hopefully we're making this deal from a position of strength.
I wonder, will this will get more replica stuff into the bookstore?

I'm pretty sure that whatever deal athletics works out has absolutely nothing to do with the bookstore. The bookstore will offer whatever their distributor gives them to sell.

In terms of replica stuff, absolutely dependent on what's available, but I would expect a significant uptick in UA apparel. ODU made the switch a few years back and the bookstore's inventory reflected that change.
