IIRC, Michigan was the flagship adidas school (even though Nebraska was first to switch to them in mid-90s, but I digress) and was earning $8.2M a year from them. Nike must have backed up a Brinks truck to the door.
Through 2014, it appears the top Nike school was Florida State with $4.4M a year. I'd have to guess this new deal doubles that.
