Just as the title states. Do you guys use the shoes provided to you through your college's equipment deal (Nike, Adidas, Brooks, etc.)?
If so, which model do you use? If not, for which brands/models do you pay out of pocket?

So far as I know, no schools are sponsored by Brooks
Yeah, I use the team shoes. I wore the Adidas Tempo Boosts this year. If I can get shoes for free anyway I'm going to wear them.
However I also bought some Kinvaras for myself at the start of the summer, got them for really cheap on runningwarehouse.
No, I have terrible feet and get hurt in anything except for like two kinds of shoes. I do wear team shoes walking around campus and cross training/lifting but not to run.

Iona is as well.
I ran d3. We did not get shoes issued to the team, people wore whatever they bought from a local running shop or the internet.
I thought it was Asics
Furman Elite is sponsored by Asics but the university team is sponsored by Brooks.
In season and during practice yes - off season when nobody is watching, I would get shoes at a severe discount (50%) from local running stores so would experiment and try different types of shoes.
One of the best MD guys at Furman, Troy Reeder (a freshman who did or was close to OTQ in the Steeple) wears Nikes in races.
For training, I wore what I wanted. Usually it was adidas, and we weren't an adidas school. But I could get adidas cheap from a buddy that worked there.
For meets, I didn't have a choice.
