They are handed as many uniforms as they have offers. They play a part in that decision. It's not "Oh - I likes the Nassib era better, I'll go to Nebraska instead" -  it's "I'm weighing these 15 things about 3 schools and uniforms is one of them"...

[I]"ESPN.com surveyed more than 700 high school recruits from the classes of 2014 and 2015 -- including 90 who self-identified as a member of the ESPN 300 for the Classes of 2014 or 2015 -- and asked them where uniforms ranked in their college decision. Uniforms were the top factor for only 3 percent of players, and [B]uniforms ranked eighth on the list[/B] of criteria behind academics, coaching, playing time, school tradition, location, experience sending players to the NFL and television exposure."[/I]

They are comparing everything about the schools. It's not Nassib era vs current - it's Syracuse vs Rutgers vs Wiscy. And sometimes it's the difference:

[I]"Swagged out" uniforms not only help prospects take notice of a program, they can be a difference-maker if the recruit is struggling to choose between two relatively even programs. "If they're exactly the same, I think uniforms would push them ahead of the other school," five-star defensive end [URL='http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/166897/lorenzo-carter']Lorenzo Carter[/URL] of Norcross, Ga., said. "If I got the same feel for both schools, they're in the same type of place, then yeah, uniforms would make a difference."

I'll wait for the real life proof of your opinion. Asking your kids doesn't count.
