When you go past prototyping into production -- and there are thousands if not tens or hundreds of thousands of them out there -- failed BBCOR tests would be a big deal that could easily bankrupt an individual arm of a company. Adidas cut the nuts off the bats between prototype and production stage

Yes, we "chose" the Adidas bats on the front end. They were not forced on us. The prototypes were hot enough for us to break a 25 year relationship with Easton. The production units, not so much. Cohen needs to have a retest this year. There was sour grapes in the beginning about us using them around the SEC. Todd and others here can confirm that I actually got this info about the prototype bats from opposition inside the SEC. We talked about it behind the scenes at the time. And that opposing coach even theorized at the time that there was no way those bats in that configuration would make it to the production line because of what I highlighted in the first paragraph.
So let me get this straight, you think Adidas has attempted to trick MSU?
