Preparing for success ON and OFF the field. A tailored suit provided to EVERY player.


NIL deal or something that’s allowed under NCAA rules?

That is awesome. Happy for those kids. A lot of them have never had a tailored suit. This is the good side of NIL. Great pub for MW as well.

Fully tailored suits are so much better than off the rack. First one I had in college I was blown away. Didn't realize nothing had ever fit me correctly before that.

That being said, I hope MW does a decent job with it. I've had some shitty work done on tuxedo rentals from those folks.

I say, if my haberdasher ever disappoints I may have to do business there.

NIL deal. This is pretty wild tho, considering MW is closing stores left and right

Crazy how not so long ago it was a level 1 NCAA infraction for a season ticket holder to buy a suit for a player to attend his parent’s funeral.

Where were they getting their suits before? It's not like this is the first season the players have been wearing suits to the game. Some of them are probably looking at those suits and saying "Nah, I don't want that shite".

I feel like this has always been a thing. The universities are allowed to provide a certain amount of clothing so I would guess a suit for their players could be part of that.

Damn. Wish I could get a free suit. Sounds like a sweet deal. Good for them.

Bottom of the barrel MW garbage is the best we could do? One of our biggest boosters owns a fricking suit manufacturer.

They are allowed to get money from sponsors, you think it’s breaking the rules to get suits? Lol

Saban: "you COULD go to LSU and get a MW suit, or you could come here and get a {insert $3500 bespoke suit brand here}."

There will be no end to this NIL stuff. It's a free for all and there's no way to curb or limit any of it. The most successful recruiting schools going forward will be the ones who have the best packages - suits, cars, women, headphones, shoes, rimS etc. And perhaps even moreso, the schools that market what they offer most effectively. College football is not long for this world. A consumption based society gets fat. And dies.
