How would it work if athlete A signs a deal with Nike in HS. I would assume there would be issues with them attending a non Nike school like ND down the road.

Who gets priority, the player or the schools when it comes to that stuff?

If it goes the players, our decision to hitch our wagon to UA will get colossally worse (if that was even possible).

We might do decent in basketball, but we'd be well and truly fooked with football recruits, especially when they look at the NFL and see Nike everywhere and top players ditching UA



The athletes are going to wear whatever the school tells

them to. If it's a UA school, the player is going to wear Under Armour. The same will happen with the Nike and Addidas schools. It won't really be a problem.

A University isn't going to make a deal with a company and get paid big dough, and not make the athletes wear the product.
The athletes will sign with shoe companies first

And go to school where the shoe companies say they can go.

Yep *
