He's speaking his mind.Apparently he's good at saying dumb things.
They've had really good recruiting classes lately not counting last year. Pretty sure Nike is not going to be a large part of their hypothetically becoming a powerhouse. A small factor, perhaps.Switching to Nike would cause a significant recruiting boost. Honestly I think Michigan is going to be a powerhouse soon not in small part because of Nike.
It is not only about the uniforms. Think about all the other gear they get, including training shoes, casual shoes, and apparel. I guarantee a majority of college football players prefer NIKE gear, as a whole, over any other brand.

I know guys currently on the team spend their own money on Nike/Jordan gear to wear instead of the free Adidas swag.
I know I would certainly prefer NIKE fan apparel.
