It seems to be a better path to MLS than USL if that NEXT Pro team has an MLS affiliate; a player who plays well has the potential for recommendation to be picked up by the MLS club.

I'd be bummed to see us leave Nike, I absolutely love Nike gear and its quality. I'd rather them focus on getting out of whatever nonsensical Barnes and Noble contract they have that prevents them from selling a better selection of items than move away from Nike.

Surprise surprise the zips are leading the MAC championships this weekend. I went to the event in 2019 when it was last in Akron and it was a blast. I plan on making it out on Saturday for the final session

Yes let them waste their money. We'll save ours for NIL. 💯

Maybe they will have another surplus sale if they switch brands again. Most of my Zips merch was purchased at the one they had when they left Adidas.

This is cool, definitely will check them out now.

This gave me a good chuckle as I can see the comparison, thank you! I'm just more tired of seeing Ohioans hard earned dollars going to waste because of vanity projects. We need fiscal responsibility.

It didn’t say the size in the article, I’m glad that they are going for a smaller venue. I’m that case I’m all for it. Better arenas in the conference make it more attractive (at least in my eyes). I went to BG this year and loved it

I’m done buying Zips gear until the Fordham AD’s fast food logo is crumpled up and tossed in the dumpster. Which would be criminal to do to any dumpster, but sometimes it sucks to be a dumpster.

I forgot to mention it at the time and maybe just thought it wasn't important but it seems to fit in this thread. On a recent Board of Trustees meeting that I watched part of, Goodrich stated that this is the last year of our Nike deal and he hinted we would be signing with someone else. He said something along the lines of "Nike doesn't value us as much as we value ourselves". I would like to go back to Adidas but I'm thinking someone like Under Armour may be more likely. As they have fewer schools in their portfolio and we could be a higher priority.
