Just read an article discussing Dickinson signing an endorsement deal with Under Armour. Interesting that apparel deals are working there way down to D3 colleges and high schools. What schools could possible be next in D3?

I know Stevenson was offered a few years ago from Under Armour, but because Under Armour was still growing, they couldn't provide all apparel for sports like Hockey or Volleyball. Maybe now they can, so I would guess Stevenson could be next. I believe the deal is still on the table.

I just read it too - http://thedickinsonian.com/sports/2015/11/19/giunta-signs-under-armour-deal/

However, this is not at all unusual at the D3 level...I'm actually surprised Dickinson did not have something like in this place already. If you read it closely, you'll see the teams all agree to use UA products - in exchange for a discount rate. It's not like at D1 schools like Michigan, where the school gets $$ AND all the gear ( http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/2015/07/15/michigans-nike-deal-worth-million/30185761/ )

I would guess UA's deal will always be on the table with Stevenson or whoever else would like it!

FDU's long standing agreement was with adidas...but we swtiched over to Nike for most sports now.

Yeah... a lot of schools actually have these in place, they may just not publicize them. It is becoming far more common... outside of coaches having deals, kind of, with specific companies.

Stevenson certainly is involved with UA with many of their teams... though, I am not sure if they are going school/program-wide, just yet.

Conference goes 3-3 today! Nice way to represent guys!

Bowl games look like they were tight which is a good thing:  Stevenson...14-9 over Muhlenberg in bowl game 1. Del Valley winning 20-16 over Morvaian.

Also way to add one more win in NCAA post season Albright... that was total devistation to Norwich. 49-0.

Nice job yesterday.  Nice to see the MAC playing solid football.

Beyond a big test this weekend for Albright...
I'm actually a bit more curious about the other branch of the bracket this week with Wesley/Johns Hopkins.   That's going to be a great game....with a likely meatgrinder to follow with the (likely   )MU game to follow)...

Welcome to A-Town Lions' fans! For those making the trip you will be sitting in the open stands facing west. The winds and cold can make it a bear to sit and watch a game.

Safe travels to all!

Purpled:

There haven't been many Albright fans on this board in years.

Gordon, I think you meant 'any'........not 'many'

[pg04]

I wish we could find at least one fan to post on this message board for every team. I know the fans exist. Someone needs to go on a scouting mission. 

[purpled]

No Albright fans? What? I don't think that's normal.

Well, if you meet any this week, send 'em over...we'll take them.   Now we are counting on you Purpled...

[Desertraider]

So...not a single Albright fan? Anyone want to "play" one for the rest of the week?

[pg04]

I'm not an Albright fan, but I play one on Post Patterns

[desertcat1]

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Safe Travels.

Given how we all think this game will go, probably not.
