Dave in Green Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I did read the article in its entirety. While the team colors play some role, it appears that team ranking and shoe brand are even more important. The kid would accept ugly colors with Nike but not Adidas, and he'd also accept Adidas and ugly colors with a powerhouse team like Kansas. Read the player's quote carefully. The bolded parts of the quote sum it up:"Coach Scott Drew is a great guy. I love Coach Drew. They were one of the first schools that were recruiting me. But I didn't like that they were an adidas team, but that's not to say I wouldn't go to Kansas because Kansas is a great team. I can look over the adidas thing — I own some adidas stuff. [Goodwin played recent summers with the Arkansas Wings Elite team, which is sponsored by Nike] I didn't like their colors, either. I don't like green and gold. That's ugly …. When you got ugly colors like that, you gotta be Nike. …. Baylor has some ugly shoes, too." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way.Our football uniforms are slightly boring, but atleast they are updated somewhat. Our basketball team is not taking advantage of the Lebron James relationship at all. They have customized shoes, which is big, but they could use a lot of work on their uniforms and having possibly more alternates. I am sure Nike would do whatever Lebron asks in that regards if Akron really wanted more options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 And right at a time when the NCAA puts Boise on probation. Is it not possible to do well in NCAA D-1A football without cheating?I'd like to restate the question. With a 450 page rule book, is it possible to do well and not break a rule in college football?

With a 450 page rule book, is it possible to do well and not break a rule in college football?While perhaps "Did you follow all of the rules in the 450-page rule book?" is one way to look at it, perhaps a more appropriate question is "Did you do your best to follow the rules?" If the answer is "yes" and you missed something, then you can make a case. If the answer is"no", then you get what you deserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
