I wonder if there is actual cash to these deals, or is it just all

just branding deals that give shoes, socks, uniforms, etc. Some teams could probably blow through $8M/year on that stuff. The branding trade would be done at full retail. I guess the shoe company get a full cost tax deduction for it and then gets to sell the official stuff at full retail price.

If you start down this road it has to follow a profesional franchise model.

Who said it has to be a pro franchise model?
