..... might impact the (seemingly legitimate) revenue stream to college programs going forward as a result of the BB bribes (and maybe more).
For instance, Michigan signed a deal with Nike worth $174m over 10 years, then O$U signed a $252m deal over 15 years, and Texas a $200m deal over 15 years. These were public disclosures, so presumably pretty legitimate.
Just wonder how the shoe companies soiling the diaper with bribes might affect the seemingly legitimate apparel deals such as the ones mentioned. Might the schools shy away from any affiliation with companies that are associated with bribes? Might the feds (certainly not the NCAA led by steel-spined Emmert) prohibit such deals?
Could lead to a pretty healthy dent in revenue for a good number of programs if those affiliations end up being affected.
