Here we are, another year older and another year wiser. Well, for sure that year older. With so much media attention going to the University of Oregon this past football season, and rightfully so, I'm left baffled at just one thing. For the record, I'm a husky. I hate Oregon, I hate Chip Kelly, and I hate Phil Knight. This is where I'm baffled.
Knights wealth due to Nike, has given him the opportunity to be a major donor to the University of Oregon and its athletics. I have no problem with that since if it were the University of Washington on the receiving end, i'd be ecstatic. No, my gripe is with all the other northwest colleges that choose to go with Nike. Sure, it's a popular choice and I'm sure Nike treats them well. What recruit wouldn't want to go to a school with all Nike? To me, it just seems like you're supporting a company who's head donates a godly amount of money to the University of Oregon. Is that what Washington, Oregon State, Washington State, etc. really want to do? At that point, I may consider going with Adidas.
