I wish I pinged reporters before today. But if anyone has the opportunity, can we ask Josh about the status of the Nike deal?

Well in a disappointing follow up to yesterday’s news: $17M/year is insane…

Putting advertisements on college uniforms, or any uniforms, should be sacrilegious. That being said, given the fact that this was inevitable, we could not have gotten a better jersey sponsor. As it’s been pointed out: small, local, fits the color scheme AND changes with each uniform color...

I am sure that we have very little say in such a decision. We are at the mercy of the networks. Still, I look at it as glass half full where the country itching for football to begin will be tuning in to watch Illini football. 8 PM local kickoff though is tuff...
