Hokies to wear Nike exclusively
All Virginia Tech athletic teams will use Nike goods as a result of an eight-year agreement with the sporting-goods company.

What do you think of the deal?

Instead of the Nike logo I think the Chokies would look good in 'Prison Orange'.

This sounded like a great deal for the entire athletic department to me. The women's atletic teams get free uniforms so their budgeted funds can now go to things like recruiting and travel. As far as the football program goes, it's a great deal as long as they don't have to wear those ugly maroon jerseys with one orange sleeve. Hated 'em. As far as the Hokies not winning tough games, what team have you folks been watching the last 10 - 12 years? They have won several games against teams rated higher than themselves. The problem with the Hokies recent success is they have seldom been the underdog. Every loss is seen as an upset. Hey, we knew they wouldn't go undefeated this year. Just support them and go with the flow.

Big deal, if you can't win the tough games, it doesn't matter what kind of mark you have on your chest. Must be a slow news day to be covering this.

I feel so much better now knowing the HOKIES will have that little check mark on their uniform. Now maybe they can win even the tough games !( 0 to 21 in the first qtr., man what a mess. )

Hmmm - why do you think Nike is giving Tech a bunch of cash and free apparel? I'm guessing it's NOT becuase of all the exposure generated by those "other programs..particularly women's athletics."

Oh yeah....and how much of the $$$ that Tech gets from NIke goes to the football program while other sports programs...particularly women's athletics....will probably see very little?
