    Michigan. The University of Michigan, of all schools, tinkers (badly) with the school's football uniform — all because the Nike contract expired and Adidas paid up.

    You think this is bad, wait until Rodriguez decides to sell advertising on the Big House's walls and have the Wolverines run onto the field through an inflatable, horribly cliched smoking helmet.

    Michigan actually changed its jerseys when it was still under contract with Nike. The white jerseys had yellow piping under the shoulders that wasn't visible on TV was was plain as day in person or in photo.

    They look pretty much exactly the same, aside from the yellow piping.

    Settle down.

    Well, RRod had to find some way to generate the revenue that will be funneled back to Morgantown, right? And those new ones look more like WVU than Meech.
