Phil Knight is a huge supporter and donor to Oregon University but business trumps all in the world of college uniforms and apparel. Knight didn’t bother to show up at the Oregon vs. Oregon state Civil War game, instead he appeared inside the victorious locker room of The OSU football team.
Oregon just had their worst season (4-8) in 20 years, so perhaps attending the OSU-Michigan game provided better exposure for Nike.
