Curious if JW will look to a shorter deal, most likely with Nike as a result of this. I would think UA, Adidas, etc., aren't necessarily going anywhere in the near future. There was some thought, given a certain UA connection, that they could be in play, but that was before these money issues hit. You're correct that it is not a sellers market right now. As a result, I wouldn't think Nike is inclined to up our deal too much, just because. That's why I think others, and I personally believe a move over to Jordan Brand, with the natural alliances we have there (Falk, Melo, etc.) at the very least distinguishes us, and keeps us under the Nike banner. Even if the money turns out to be similar to whats its been.

If we do sign up long term, I would bet it’s a very long term deal 15+ years, and maybe that pushes us into the top 25 apparel deals. Based on where we are now, an additional $1 million gets us there, and that is peanuts compared to those in the top 10.
