mjd77 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 If your athletic department is $41 million in debt, it's time to fold your non-competitive football program. Is athletic department debt like that common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 It’s time to fold everything but club sports, at that point. It’s clear that UConn’s priorities are seriously out of whack.

Is athletic department debt like that common? Yes. But even debt is not always a negative. All of the public schools in the Big XII carry debt, mostly because they finance construction projects with bonds they must pay off and have the revenues to fulfill the debt. Case in point, the University of Texas generates over $200M in revenue annually, but still has over $190M in debt. OTOH, in 2017, North Texas had $63M in department debt but also saw each sport operate at a financial loss only to be bailed out with student fees and direct university support. If they are not considered a university department, but rather an auxiliary and self-financing, they may be in debt to the university itself. As for budget deficits from year to year, that is common too. UConn is pretty unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Copyright laws wouldn't be the issue. Nike tripping over their own dick and not wanting to stick an NFL team in a look they made for a college team would be the only hurdle.

Or is there some sort of restrictions/patents? Generally copyright law doesn't apply to fashion outside of certain specific, unique textile designs. Trademark wouldn't really apply here either because while a team technically could argue something like trade dress, simply wearing those stripes the way they do is in no way unique (Hell, the Browns wore a look like this long before Syracuse). The Browns look also would have many elements that would make it instantly recognizable as not being the Syracuse look (color, logos, potentially team name on the jersey, nfl branding, etc.). There are potentially elements that could be trademarked if they are in fact unique, like the color scheme, but a different team at a completely different level of football wearing a different color scheme won't be confused with Syracuse. Patents have nothing to do with anything here. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

I could see tehm changing the pattern slightly for the jerseys and pants to fit the Browns though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djam2410 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Cal is also in serious financial trouble with their stadium renovation they did. They decided to pay for it through people purchasing PSL's...a horrible plan not done by any other place building a stadium. Results in 18m+ a year that must be paid on stadium debt for next 15-25 years Cal Bears | Miami Dolphins | Cleveland Cavaliers |@dcjames5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syracuse wore mono orange from 1949-1951 and again in 1958. Coach Ben Schwartzwalder thought the all-orange look helped camouflage the football when his team was on offense, giving them an advantage.

Trademark law absolutely applies here, but as you mention, in applying the law, there are issues as to whether any of the teams have a legally recognizable claim to a trade dress.

Also, Jim Brown with the original Otto Graham facemask, I'd never seen that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
