Nike deal

the stripes make my foot look fatter, tbh

I was talking football uniforms , but hey that’s enough for me to get rid of Adidas. #NoPigToes

So was listening to one of the canes blogs and they said Mario and money not an issue but somehow Nike was an obstacle.

Anyone know what that could mean?

I know Mario is very appreciative of what Phil Knight and Nike has done for him in giving him a P5 coaching opportunity and providing plenty of financial resources.

As a sort of pay back to Knight for what he’s done be that Mario asks for UM go back to Nike as part of the negotiations?

If that’s the case what are the legal and financial repercussions breaking the contract with ADIDAS?

Perhaps some agreement between Nike and Mario adding a touch more poison pill to wrenching him out of Oregon to other than Nike sponsored teams??

Did Nike butt *** Michigan’s uniforms?

They probably had forced/child labor sew them.

reading the tea leaves it is apparent to me that to get to Mario you will need to deal with Nike (i.e. Phil Knight). Sounds reasonable that something can be worked out for Oregon to let go of Mario by striking a new Nike deal so that everyone is relatively happy with the outcome.

I don’t think u understand marketing or perception. Furthermore, u don’t understand upfront $ v. backend $. Hence u continue to say “who’s paying more.”

I’m not sure what line of business u’re in, but it’s not as simple “they r paying more money.” For instance, Bama is only making $5m/yr from Nike, yet they are making 15% of all Nike Bama sales. So if Bama is selling $10m worth of product/yr, they make an additional $1.5m. Guess what? Bama sells way more than $10m in products. They r the second highest merchandise mover behind Texas. So that $5m is contractually worth more than our deal, even though our upfront $ is more.

so tell your boys at nike to offer Miami a deal with fronting the buyout. Miami was getting shafted by nike at the end esp w team equipment. I care more about that.

trust me, idgaf about what logo is on a shirt. whichever helps the school pay for **** matters to me more. if its nike so be it. if its Russell so be it.

Flo on his show the other day said something about Nike being an obstacle with Mario, is it that Mario wants Nike or something else? @Cribby

I know that Miami people aren’t crazy about the adidas deal. I also know of former players and other influential people that believe Miami school. Just like most of us older fans. That hasn’t been a secret for awhile.

If Mario was to come I’d think there’s a shot we go to Nike or Jumpman. Also the adidas deal is more proof Blake is an absolute **** waffle.

Oh, they are not going to let Mario go so easy and not try to get something out of the deal is my take.

Any way to combine this with the other Nike threads?

I don't mind adidas. They seem to make their shoe a bit wider. I got wide feet. Nikes feel too constricting on my feet

You guys really overestimate:

1. The relationship between Nike and Oregon Univ
2. Phil Knight’s interest and involvement with their football program
3. Phil Knight’s involvement with day to day decisions and negotiations of Nike

Will Miami try to hire Mario from Oregon? The attempt is almost a certainty

Is Miami in the process of leaving Adidas for Nike? No for multiple reason

Are these two items connected? 100% not

Wrong and somewhat wrong.

As if an AD and HC search wasnt good enough, we are changing apparels too it seems.

Wrong and somewhat wrong.

Ohhhh okay.

A desire to do something and actually doing it are two different things.

And how ****ed off would Oregon been at Nike and Phil Knight for negotiating a quid pro quo deal to allow Mario to leave Oregon for Miami if Miami switched back to Nike

Logistical and contractually it’s not true

There's no reason to believe this report is accurate. Unlikely that the blog guys have a clue.

Crazy season is upon us. There will be many more completely made-up, bull**** reports than accurate reports throughout this process.

All you people reread this post
