There is talk by some Miami people that the school is looking to get out of their contract early with Adidas. Due to some legalese brought about by a breach of contract by Adidas. The rumor is Jordan Brand/Nike. Miami has been a tier 1 school for Adidas since that deal was signed. The school was always at the head of line when a new template or cleat was introduced. Not moving to the new template with Washington, Texas A&M and NC State is certainly a departure. Specifically when you consider Fresno State got the newest template too.
