The worst Division I-A team is the Florida International Golden Panthers. They have lost 13 straight games - 14 after next week. We have beaten them 4 out of 5 times.

So WHY do these sell at Sports Authority Miami?
?

What is going on here? Has anyone seen ANYTHING FAU in a sports store OTHER THAN 4 or 5 shirts and a pair of shorts at Champs Sports in the Boca Mall?

FAU stuff is at most Champs from Wellington to Miami. You can also find a great selection of FAU hats at LIDS in the same area.

It's all a matter of what's selling and what FAU allows. I have heard that FAU is pretty stringent about who is allowed to sell what… meanwhile there are UF dustbusters for sale at Wal-mart :

Before the game on Saturday, I went to the Publix on Federal Highway (the main Publix that serves the FAu student population) to buy food for the game and noticed they don't have a damn thing there that's FAU.

Not a hat, not a shirt, not even an Owl Head sticker on anything.

Meanwhile, they are getting great exposure from us with their banner ad on fausports.com. Moe's has a similar marketing deal with us… yet barely had anything of ours in their stores.

Which leads me to believe that these places are taking us for a ride. Maybe the Marketing Department at FAU could grow some cojones and keep that from happening.
