I'd give up being one of the top paid adidas schools for Nike in a heartbeat, but I understand the need for public schools to get every dollar they can. Though I think UCLA takes care of itself just fine.

Few notes from Jim Hackett today: Michigan's deal with Nike is the largest apparel deal in America.

Nick Baumgardner ‏@nickbaumgardner  2h2 hours ago
Hackett wouldn't say how much, just says it's No. 1. Would've been No 1 w/ Adidas/UA, too

More on Nike: Hackett says Harbaugh told him he wanted Nike the second day he was on campus.

That $10m number seems legit. 

The previous highest deal was ND's with UA which was $90m for 10 years.  ND has a clause in their contract though that makes UA have to up their contract to at least match the largest apparel deal in the country.  So technically Michigan and ND are tied for #1.

RE: football, Hackett not a fan of neutral-site games: "We have the largest stadium in the country and can recruit nationally without them."

I don't think it's possible for Jim Hacket to get "it" any more than he does.

A&M playing a neutral site game in Houston, less than 90 minutes away from College Station, at a stadium that holds ~25K less people 

I guess the only plus is that they don't have to make a return trip back to Arizona.

Pittman committing today, @dr funk 13 who you got?

Johnny_Cakes I was out and about your campus yesterday with my UCLA alum Santa Monica people's. Pretty area.

just now seeing this. been out in the America's natty parks

I am disappoint doe :}

Sorry, meant to ask about Under Armour and Adidas not Nike.

Is Oregon getting a sizable check from Nike or just the apparel hookup

It's interesting how advanced Adidas is in soccer but their other sports are struggling so much.

Oregon gets many other benefits that are not necessarily monetary in nature, so I wouldn't be surprised if they had a pretty typical contract with Nike.

Oregon gets about $2M. Pretty standard.

Apparently this is the UCLA uniform that adidas is showing tomorrow:

View media item 1620259
The mildly extended shoulder stripes do not make up for the garbage chainlink pattern that's now all over the uniform.

Our adidas contract ends in 2017. We better be doing some shopping around next year.

 

[herbshuttles15]

The new template is even worse :x

 

[imlive365]

Great if they're giving you guys all that stretched out tire print. We're most likely getting it to :x
