How long is the Nike deal?

I am not a fan of Nike stuff in general, but somebody signed a deal (was it DRad?) for exclusive team outfitters.
Now Nike is slumping and attempting a turnaround.

What if they continue downhill? What happens?

They would have to go downhill for years and years and years before there was any true risk to their business continuity. This is a non-story.

You will be wiser when you realize everyone isn't like you. I assume you're trying to make some kind of TDS political statement out of this, but (and I'll use small words for you) what I don't like about ESPN and Nike is: they have their favorites and they try to pick winners and losers by influencing recruiting. All I want is quality merchandise and a fair shake. Is that Adidas? I have no idea.

He's filthy rich (or just filthy, or just rich)! He's facilitating some of our NIL deals.

They gotta behind on profits, all the money sent to Oregon for NIL with no ROI. Don't worry they will survive and continue their donations to Oregon.

HOKA. Pretty good shoe I tell you.
Overpriced and not sure if the youngsters like them.

I’ve always thought we would be at a competitive disadvantage recruiting wise if we were not a Nike school. I believe this still holds true in 2025 which is remarkable really considering how trends change and how each generation of young folks want to be different from the one that preceded it. Truly have been a marketing powerhouse for over 40 years.
I think Adidas also does a poor job with football uniforms. NC State, GA Tech, and Miami all look ill-fitted to me. Part of it may be design choices from the schools, but they just look cheap.
Other than Notre Dame which is sort of immune from needing to worry about their supplier, most of the UA schools are bottom feeders who do it just to get the extra money UA will pay them. (Think USuC) Don't really want Clemson to be associated with that. Plus they have legit solvency issues, unlike Nike.
If you look globally at soccer Adidas and Nike also dominate the big clubs, but it’s more balanced. Puma is another option but I don’t think they do American football.
Unless there is some industry disruptor that suddenly becomes cool with 17 year old boys before 2028 that can unseat Nike, I imagine Clemson will renew the contract. Hopefully we will have the strong bargaining position of a couple more recent championships in our back pocket.
