It could have changed since I was I was on a Nike team in college, but we got team issue gear and that’s it. Not even the Heisman winner in the locker room got Nike stuff that wasn’t Baylor affiliated.

Maybe it has changed though. Wouldn’t shock me.

Yep, I'm sure those $1400 shoes in a non-OSU colorway were standard issue to every player on OSU this season.


FTR, I don't think Fields did anything shady to get those shoes, he'd be a moron if he did and then went to a NCAA event, but you trying to rationalize it the way you did is laughably stupid.
