My takeaway from the segment is that State fans will put the money into supporting a winner. I hope it is sustainable.

I went to check Fanatics to see what they have.

We are on the front, pretty cool.

My take is that Adidas is our biggest fan right now. Our merchandise sales are up 250% and they have us signed to only a $2.5 mil/year contract, compared to Notre Dame's $10 mil/year. Plus everytime you see a highlight or picture of MSU players on ESPN you can't help but notice the Adidas front and center on the jersey.

It's pretty cool seeing an MSU pullover next to Dez Bryant and LeBron James jerseys on the front page of fanatics.com.

What I got out of that video was the return on investment that our donors are seeing. Every college out there is telling their big money people that "with x amount of your assistance we can do this... and we can do that..." How often are those people donating their money not seeing what they're paying for? You know who's getting their money's worth? We are. That can only help facilitate more money coming in.
