[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1193252, member: 527609"] Based on no inside information, my guess is that Nike wanted to get this horse in the barn without it going out for bids to competitors and such and sweetened the pot a bit to get it done when they did. The idea of a shiny new deal with Adidas or Under Armour for slightly more more money stirs feelings of shaking things up and making changes that are appealing when the whole program is in the gutter, but the reality is still that Nike is the gold standard and this deal might not have been on the table if we solicited other offers and they weren't to our liking.
