Up for them only 3 or 4 could sell enough shirts to break even on the investment of ordering them. What kind of idiot says 3 or 4 are more important than 121 or 122?

The view that the value of your college experience is the sum total of tuition, books, room and board is manipulative. It is a lie.

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

Who said it has to be a pro franchise model?

It is the only way to be viable once players are unionized and profesional.

Most of the major brands pay the schools to wear their apparel.
