## Resource

Penn State officially begins its Adidas era, and while some fans were ready to criticize the move away from Nike, Zach Seyko explains why the switch makes sense for the Nittany Lions in the modern NIL and transfer portal era. This episode breaks down why Penn State’s Adidas partnership is about more than uniforms: more money, more NIL opportunity, more creative control, and a better chance to compete in the new landscape of college football.
