In today's episode, we dive into two major moments shaping Tigers athletics: their groundbreaking 10‑year, Nike partnership, and the high‑stakes unveiling of Oregon and Michigan as Auburn’s opponents at the Players Era Festival.

In the first half, we unpack Auburn’s decision to switch from Under Armour—after an 18‑year association—to one of the nation’s top apparel deals with Nike, launching July 2025. We’ll discuss how the deal enhances Auburn’s recruiting, player gear, brand visibility, and the broader business rationale.

The second half shifts to hoops, previewing Auburn’s inclusion in the 2025 Players Era Festival in Las Vegas over Thanksgiving. Here's what to expect when the Tigers' face former champion Oregon and Big Ten titan Michigan in this NIL-rich, elite-field tournament. From uniform trends to NIL payouts and season momentum, this episode sets the stage for Auburn’s bold new era—both on the Plains and on the court.
