Under the agreement Miami has with Nike, they are given an opportunity to match any offer, but the price tag may be too high for Nike to stay signed.<\/p>\n<p>Again citing the report from the\u00a0<em>Palm Beach Post<\/em>, the offers presented by Adidas and Under Armour are expected to be \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/caneswatch.blog.palmbeachpost.com\/2014\/12\/16\/pioneering-partnership-between-nike-university-of-miami-may-be-over\/\">several million dollars per year richer than Nike\u2019s deal<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nike has a strong hold on the college sports business outfitting an overwhelming majority of college programs, but they might\u00a0be&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":422006,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1224791],"tags":[1207536,1225736],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>University of Miami &amp;
