Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2593506, member: 56"] I have a feeling football is different, driven far more by boosters and potential pro agents, rather than athletic companies. Shoe deals are a big business in basketball. Not so in football; the average star player isn't as marketable on that front. Nobody cares if Alabama is a Nike school. And the structure/nature of AAU BB provides a conduit for athletic companies and agents to latch on to and guide both the high school and college careers of individual athletes. [/QUOTE]
