In case you missed it, Adidas is dropping out of the NBA sponsorship business:
BERLIN — Sportswear group Adidas AG will not renew its contract to supply kit to the U.S. National Basketball Association (NBA), saying it feels it would be better to invest its money in new products and players.
Will be interesting to see if they back away from all basketball sponsorships.
Rumor has it that KU is very unhappy with Adidas and will return to Nike at the end of our contract. Maybe another year?
On 3’s, I thought you’d like this from the UMBC coach after their win. Not that I’m here to argue merit, I’ll leave that to all of you with your better understanding of the game.
If you are on WOW in Lawrence AXS is included in the “silver” cable package at channel 298. I called and learned that I could upgrade from bronze to silver for $8 / month. At the same time they replaced my grandfathered Knolegy internet with a better service at a total cost of $1 less cost per month and I also asked for and received a “loyal customer” discount of $15/month for the next 12 months. So now I have the game, a bunch more channels I will never watch, better internet speed and almost $200 bucks in my pocket. Rock Chalk!
Make sure she checks on all possible KU scholarship funding. There is a very clear chart of what is available based on her test scores. Beyond that there may be other scholarships that are geography based. A couple things to note:
*KU offers a lot of 4 year scholarships.
*Availability of scholarships as a transfer is probably limited. It is something to consider, as you may be free for 2 years but then have to pay full cost of 2 years at KU so the overall cost difference is not as great.
*Sounds like she is smart and a hard worker so this may not be a factor, but in general the statistics are not great for percentage of students that enter Jr. College and then complete a 4-year degree.
*Freshman/Sophomore years at KU living on campus are a great experience. Jr. Colledge not even close.
*Scholarship Halls are another way to save money. Worth looking at.
