It remains to be seen whether there is a meaningful hit to Nike’s bottom www.andrewjoslin.co.uk line as a result of the Kaepernick campaign, but there Nike Air Max 2017 Femme is no indication that one of the world’s largest corporations is in danger of losing its partnership with college athletic programs – some netting millions per year from the shoe giant.“Schools can’t stop any of them: Nike, Under Armour, Adidas,” said David Carter, executive director of USC’s Sports Business Institute. “They don’t Nike Air Presto Femme have the contractual ability to do that.”While contracts among schools and Nike vary, there are usually only two outs: Nike goes bankrupt or fails Nike Air Max 97 Damen to pay its promised endorsement dollars. “It’s big money and money talks,” said Bob Dorfman, Nike Air Force 1 Femme creative director of San Francisco-based Baker Street Advertising. “These schools are getting a pretty penny form Nike and Nike, in turn, is probably getting a good return on their Nike Air Max 270 Mujer investment. Also, what’s the alternative?”Those alternatives – looking to partner with Nike Roshe Run Mujer another shoe company – can’t be explored until the end of the respective contracts. Alabama is guaranteed nearly $5.3 million a year under its current deal with Nike that runs through 2025, according to the contract obtained by USA TODAY Sports.
That didn’t stop many on Facebook and Twitter from circulating a bogus news story that Alabama was dropping Nike, something that likely would have led Nike to file a lawsuit against the university for breach of contract. The fact-checking site Snopes even did a post setting the record straight. Jessica Pare, a spokesperson for the Nike Air Max 2017 Donne Alabama Athletics department, told USA TODAY Sports the school was not commenting on Nike’s ad campaign. Nike Roshe Run Damen Nike spokesperson Sandra Carreon-John told USA TODAY Sports that the Nike Air Max Thea Femme company could not comment on relationships with colleges. Nike has contracts with 52.8% of FBS schools and is especially dominant in the SEC where it Nike Air VaporMax Femme has 10 of the 14 teams, including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida (via Nike's Jordan Brand), Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Missouri, Ole Miss, Tennessee and Vanderbilt, according to Football Scoop. And terms of many of those contracts, such as the one the University of Kentucky has with Nike, include the same language that forbids schools Nike Air Max 2015 Damen from “polishing-out, spatting or otherwise taping unless for medical reasons, so as to cover Adidas NMD Mujer or obscure any portion of any Nike logo.”
“The athletic departments need that money at a time Adidas Superstar Mujer when turnstile (attendance) is down and you’re in the situation where ratings, over time, could become a Nike Air Max 90 Damen problem for them,” Carter said. “From a fiscal standpoint, I don’ t think they will (abandon athletic manufacturer sponsorship ventures).” While major college athletic departments are bound by contracts that make severing ties with apparel companies difficult, smaller schools don’t have that impediment. One of those is College Nike Air Max 90 Femme of the Ozarks, a small private school in Missouri that announced this week that it would no longer be associated with Nike over its ties with Kaepernick.“We simply chose to not purchase uniforms that include the Nike Nike Roshe Run Donne symbol,” College of the Ozarks spokesperson Valorie Coleman told USA TODAY Sports.Nike did not provide the school with financial support and coaches at the school seek out their own suppliers for Nike Air Max 2017 Womens athletic gear, according to Coleman.
