With the new Adidas deal -- if the numbers I heard are right -- Miami can afford to buy Al Golden out. ///watches world burn

It's a bigger deal that people realize. The shoe company's are getting out of hand, Louisville had a basketball committ back out of his commitment because Louisville is an Adidas school and Nike funds his AAU team and Nike was rumored to have told him they would pull the funding if he didn't go to a Nike school.

Louisville coach Rick Pitino, whose school has an Adidas contract, has railed against the system he says steers players from shoe-branded AAU teams toward certain colleges. Schools associated with Nike, the largest player on the AAU circuit, have “somewhat of an advantage, because people really put a heavy emphasis on their players going to Nike schools,” Pitino said.
“I don’t think its the players as much as the AAU handlers, runners, agents — they’re all involved in it somehow and it’s a problem that won’t go away because they’re being very competitive,” he said. “We’re taking a lot of money from these shoe companies, so we can’t complain as well. It’s something that’s there. The NCAA doesn’t think it’s a problem, so I’m not going to think it’s a problem.”

COME ON DOC! THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW!
You don't get fries with a meatball hoagie/sub/grinder! Come on! If anything, you get chips. Seriously, Mark, your off the mark here. When's the last time you even saw fries in a sub shop that didn't have a full-blown restaurant attached?

Adidas’ deal with UM, the news of which the Palm Beach Post first reported on Sunday, will last 12 years according to a source. The dollar amount is still unknown, but is expected to be “a lot,” the source said.
UM and Adidas will announce their pact Thursday morning – though UM, a private school, may not reveal contract details.
I imagine this: Adidas has paid real good money for Miami. Aim of new Adidas North America leadership is to go hard in college athletics.
I expect it will be very lucrative.
