IMO NIKE came to the table with a set of built in advantages.
1. Lot of top flight recruits get steered toward NIKE schools. Might make attracting top coaches and players easier, especially in BB.
2. I heard, but cannot confirm, that Coach Beamer was pretty adamant about staying with NIKE.
3. Our Athletic Director had a lot on his plate during the negotiations and ending up settling for considerably less than he might have gotten.
This is just some of the things I heard/read after the contract was annouced. [Post edited by seekoHoG at 08/28/2017 1:22PM]
