I was reminded of the University of Minnesota's belated protest to being included in this collection because it didn't "adhere to their values." Apparently they are against sweatpants and underwear (both of which they sell at their own school store). But, low and behold, when I made my way to the PINK site, there it was. Apparently PINK loves University of Minnesota, in the form of PINK gear. What happened to their protests? Their "values"? While I found the whole episode ridiculous from the start, I at least assumed the U would stick to their guns and not partner with VS. I find it very disappointing that they made such a stink about it and then went on ahead anyway. Maybe there was a contractual agreement involved? Does anyone have an updates on what happened?
I love, in this Roll Call, at 0:45, she says "the University of Minnesota" like there's a question mark after it:

I own the striped tank top and the sweatpants and I must say, both are far more cozy than anything sold at Coffman!
If I remember correctly, all the hoopla came out after the product was made. I'm sure they were under some sort of contract.
Side note: I have a girl crush on the model in the video, Behati Prinsloo.
