EDIT: And this...
Most outrageous part of the Nike-Michigan deal for $169 million? Sources tell me Nike WAS THE LOWEST BIDDER.

What about Tennessee though?
"The deal is an eight-year, $35-million agreement, which puts Tennessee in the top 10 among colleges with Nike agreements."
Oh....LOL.
Hackett at Deja Vu
$$$$$
Dolla, Dolla bills, y'all!!!
And many were worried about going with Nike because Michigan wasn't going to get paid like they would with Adidas.... so about that...
Wow Crazy! UA and Adidas

DAMN
largest Nike contract ever? That's a lot of loot.
Kevin Durant got 10 years, $300 million from Nike. Manchester United was 13 years $312 million.
Holy sh*t at that Kevin Durant contract
I like Durant, but he's got bad feet and I never see people wearing Durant-style/logo/inspired Nike clothes/shoes. In other words, if they were trying to recreate the whole Air Jordan thing, they failed miserably.
seriously... I work at an urban middle school. 10x more KDs than Jordans. Kids have them in every color to match their outfits. It's outrageous. They are all ugly as sin by adult standards.
I coach 7th grade boys basketball and I'd say most of my kids have at least one pair of KDs. Some have multiple.
Uh are you talking about Catherine Durant, Secretary of State from House of Cards? I know you're not talking about Kevin.
KD's a widely popular. Jordan is Jordan obviously he doesn't touch that, but of the contemporary players his brand is the most popular.

I stand corrected. I did coach youth basketball for four years and the thing I noticed most was the socks, not the shoes. When I was a kid, we wore knee-high, white tube socks (think Michael Cooper). Nowadays, all the kids are wearing fluorescent socks that would look great with UNIFORMZ.
EDIT: apparently my original comment made sense two years ago. Now? Not so much. See:

Cigars and champagne for Hackett. Again.
I wonder if there is a clause stating it must be the largest as other deals are made in the future as the adidas contract had.
This Jim Hackett guy is pretty, prettay good.....
Almost $100M is not cash...should be interesting to see how this is being done.
Still, almost 7 mil guaranteed money every year is pretty amazing!

Handjobs. $3 dollar handjobs. Lotta handjobs.
As part of the contract...we get SEC style hostesses?
Nike pays Michigan $5-6M per year in cash, and provides $5-6M in product/apparel to outfit the athletes, coaches, etc.
At wholesale prices, how can they realistically use up all that allotted money for apparel every year?
I believe that 100M is being paid in Moose Jaw Centennial Wooden Bills.
SHOW ME THE MONEY

UM-Nike deal details (per UM release) -- base compensation Yr 1 $4,820,000. Yr 15 $5,820,000. Product supply Yr 1 $5,300,000. Yr 15 $6 mill
Michigan gets $4.82M in cash for each of the first 10 years of the contract with Nike, then $5.32M for 2026-27.
The $76.8M in cash Michigan would receive is only if the final 4 option years ($5.82M per) are included. So, only $53.52M is guaranteed.
How does that compare to the other Nike deals around the country? I believe Florida st has the highest right now with about 4-5 mil per year right?

Never a better time for this gif
Holy hell. That's gonna hurt some feelings around the country. Jim Hackett is maybe the greatest AD in the history of college sports and he's not even an AD. He can drop the mic and enjoy the throne

That is a decent deal. Jebus
Cow!
Dolla dolla bills y'all
I remember like it was yesterday protesting in the diag and in front of the president's house to fire Brandon. Now, Harbaugh is our head football coach and we have a 15 mil deal per year with Nike. Good lord.

Hail Schlissel! Hail Hackett! Hail MGoBlog!
That's $15.36 milllion per year. That's even larger than the rumored offer texas got from under armour ($15 millioin per year).
