Chances of dropping Adidas after our contract is up?

So our conference is now made up from this combo...

Indiana- Adidas

Illinois- Adidas

Nebraska- Adidas

Wisconsin- UA

Rutgers- Nike

Maryland- UA

Michigan st- Nike

Ohio St. - Nike

Michigan- Jordan

Penn St- Nike

Minnesota- Nike

Northwestern- UA

I think I got everyone, not sure all are correct. Pretty good balance if so.
Illinois is Nike.

 

Adidas is aware of the plans for NikeTown and there is no conflict with their contract, UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman said. "We won't be doing anything that is in conflict with our contract." The Adidas contract runs through 2017, Perlman said.

I wonder how much $ NU makes from their own "Huskers Authentic" store. IIRC, NU closed the store in the parking garage by Memorial Stadium, since they have the store by PBA.

If NU does switch to Nike in 2017, and allows the Nike Town store to sell Husker merchandise, would that create a lot of competition in their own "Huskers Authentic" store? I guess more merchandise sold is the main thing, and NU could still sell non-Nike Husker gear in the Huskers Authentic store, along with Nike Husker gear.

I'm just kinda rambling on here. I think it's too early to say that NU moving to Nike is a slam-dunk at this point.

It's kind of a weird development in the story. I can't imagine that Adidas is too happy about NikeTown being put next to campus and it might scare away UA....or maybe not.

I know Nike is popular. And UA is up and coming, but part of me likes being different. Look at what Michigan did with Jordan. Isn't there a 4rth option out there that the players would think is cool?
