Published in march 2010 from o-live.

The contract, released to The Oregonian after a request under Oregon’s public-records law, shows the athletic department receiving a cash payment from Nike of $500,000 in 2008-09. Nike also was to provide Oregon teams with $1,950,000 in gear that year, and up to $150,000 in extra gear as requested by athletic-department officials.

The new agreement supersedes a seven-year deal with Nike that ran from 2003-2010, and shows significant increases in each category in 2008-09: up $250,000 in cash, $550,000 in team gear and $50,000 in extra gear.

But the value of the nine final years of the contract isn’t known, as UO officials blacked out the dollar amounts on the contract.

And at Oregon, the Nike deal helps cover the cost of something that has skyrocketed in importance over the past decade: its ever-changing football uniforms.

Its funny how U of O spends so much on football finances and recruit services when they can't get better faculty for their students.

Academic rank is 37 spots higher than OSU - and the gap is widening with enrollment at an all time high. You can keep throwing out blanket statements like this, but Duck fans will reference actual rankings.

Oh, and those "stupid" uniforms are pretty cool to new recruits and players. You know, players that keep winning conference games and Championships.

Well, then the university better get on it and start changing their baseball team uniforms! They are in need to win a title soon!

Sounds a little arrogant to me. Isn't a college degree the same from any university? Shut the fuck up SlyPokerDog.

Isn't a college degree the same from any university?

in the sense that they are printed on similar pieces of paper, yes all college degrees are the same

Haha. Go Ducks. No, all degrees are not equal. If two folks come to my office to interview, have like experience, and one has a degree from, say, Evergreen and one has a degree from UO, OSU, UW - one is worth more than the other, if experiences are similar.

Oregon actually has a fairly low avg salary for grads (still higher than OSU) because so many students are in education. For things like business, Oregon students only earn on avg about $2,000 more than those with a like degree from OSU. Fairly close, but $2000 a year over a 30 year career equates to $60,000.

STF? That's not work or family appropriate! Go Ducks!

And by people that actually like him!





OK, OK, I had to say it.

What are they spending 75 million a year on? They don't even pay the players.
