a noble move but a lot to do in a very short time to have any kind of success if they are looking to do it this year. Not having it this year and trying to bring it back in 2026 would be great.
Footlocker died when NXN started up. Its existed in name only since then but wasn’t anywhere close to being the same. Honestly, just let it end. Never getting the good ole days back
Nike thought they could just start a new CC national meet, give the kids a bunch of free Nike clothing, and *BAM* Footlocker would be gone. That was 2004. Footlocker existed for 21 more years and its demise had nothing to do with the startup of NXN. That is like saying the US boycott of the 1980 Olympics caused the Soviets to pull out of Afghanistan ... in 1989.
NXN and footlocker both sucked since then. No real champion. If you don’t think NXN ruined footlocker, then you were never someone that competed at footlocker regionals before NXN. It was the playoffs and Super Bowl of hs running. It’s just been a cool meet since then but lost its mystique
