Day Fourteen Fall Camp: Tues., August 15, 2017

When is the last time we had a football alum become a journalist? Julian is making his case, he knows his audience and writes well ...
 
How is Erv a senior already? Jeez...

That's what happens when you have to march true freshman out to fill out the two deep, squandering a year on the front end that would be much more productive on the back end of the career arc.

Hopefully, we're nearly at the point where we can avoid that at most positional units. Not there at OL or DE yet.

uniform nazis, are they different this year? They look the same no?

I've been personally convinced that we're getting new uniforms. The team has been wearing last year's game pants all throughout camp, whereas last year they practiced in the previous uniform pants (the ones with the blue/white stripe). Also in Dino's presser a few days ago he made some sly comment about something "fun" coming up that the player don't know about yet. Which could be a uniform reveal. I could be way off here, but oh well. One can hope.

I wouldn't get too excited about new unis. They wouldn't be taking these professional pics with practice uniforms. I also think Dino's "fun" ended up being the bowling outing.
 
They are the same uniforms. It's called lighting. Same as when the Commit2Cuse send out videos in filters that make colors look faded. It is just lighting lol

My guess has been new uniforms in 2018. We shall see

I think they have a lot of things they have prioritized to spend money on and new unis are probably not high on the list.

I can't imagine they spend any money on uniforms. I would guess Nike foots that bill, no?
 
After a quick google: No chance we pay for our uniforms.
I believe the Nike package is something in the way of roughly $3 million in gear to the school, which gives them exclusive rights to sell SU licensed merchandise, thus recouping on that investment. Other aspects of the deal include the Nike camps, etc., but, I have no idea how those are accounted for. Be interesting to see as this deal expires in the next few years, what happens. Several programs that I would believe are above ours in stature, UCLA, Michigan, ND, have signed huge contracts with UA, etc. We should fall under them, but still get a bump.

But remember basketball is a huge grab for Nike (or any big brand). Syracuse should be in the 3-3.5 Million per year range with the next deal. With whomever.

When's their first Dome scrimmage? Because my money is on the locker room unveil.

Believe Nike contract is nearing the end. I would expect some major enhancements in the next deal whether we re-up with Nike or change partners.

Our Nike contract is the worst one we have. Bidding war will happen once it's up.
