It’s not just Dawn, who sits on Nike’s female empowerment board:

-Aja Wilson just became a Nike signature athlete
-Kamilla Cardoza is a Nike athlete
-Xavier Legette is a Nike athlete
-Deebo Samuels is a Jordan Brand athlete
-Stephon Gilmore is a Jordan Brand athlete
-Alshon Jeffrey is a Jordan Brand ambassador
-Melvin Ingram is a Jordan Brand ambassador

UA is hemorrhaging $$; they r trading at $4.88 right now. Their previous contract was at $7.1m in total compensation in both product and cash. I’m going to assume with A’Ja & Dawn being prominent figures in Nike’s initiatives, they’ll be receiving an $8-10m evaluation w royalties & performance bonuses.

10 yrs $77.5m + bonuses + royalties (15%). Based upon USCe revenue, & approximating that only 15% of that comes from apparel sell, their total contract w/o performance bonus will be approximately $8.1m/yr.

I have purchased SEVERAL Colosseum items. Superior to adidas. Less expensive than adidas.

As I said elsewhere, I'm done with adidas. Ten years has been enough, I'm OUT for the last two years. No mas.

Not a great deal, but apparently South Carolina wanted the swoosh. It’s worse than what Auburn got.

They’ll be making more $$ w Nike than they did w UA, & there’s part of the contract that was not disclosed.

& since u laughed @Hurracanes, their contract is actually outperforming ours as it currently stands. There’s several ppl on this thread that have experience in apparel language, but only two that’s active in this thread, w me being one of them.

ALL of Nike’s contracts are convertible, which is why u can clearly see in brackets there’s cash allotments in place. There’s several cash performance bonuses attached to the back end of this deal w/ CFB being able to cumulatively combine all bonus into an add’l $1m. Then there’s something called the A’Ja clause which immensely helps out USCe.

Between base, apparel, royalties, performance, USCe could earn up to $10.3m/yr, but no less than $7.8 will be furnished. Between A’Ja & Dawn, USCe….wait, did I also mention Nike’s current CEO is also on TCU’s BOT, where former TCU AD & now current USCe AD Jeremiah Donati is from? OK, so between Wilson, Staley, & their AD who’s friends w Nike’s CEO, do u actually think they would be screwed on this deal? Lol.

Auburn doesn’t nearly have the same amount of hidden incentives as USCe. Lastly, Nike is also redesigning USCe’s basketball court as part of the deal that wasn’t disclosed.

I like colosseum stuff but Just ordered one of the lightweight orange hoodie from fanatics and the color came in wayyyyyyy over Heathered on the outside if that makes sense. The inside matches more of the expectation and picture on the website. Disappointed.

So all of the Jordan/nike talk for the last 3 years was pointless?

No, it wasn’t pointless b/c even staff members were telling recruits when Mario first came on board what the plan was; however, one of our boosters became real chummy w Adidas in 2023.

Several ppl hit me up in my DM b/c they noticed I stopped talking about a possible reuniting, & I told them straight up I’m feeling uneasy about a possible switch b/c of smoke I heard about one of the boosters. Could it still happen w the right voices? Sure, but if I was 75/25 in 2022, I’m 25/75 as of today simply b/c who now has the loudest voice in the room.

Dan at this point is just a yes man.
