[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 611613, member: 1776"] Two interesting notes from the Nike article. First the authors state why did the federal trials focus so much on Adidas and not Nike and they already know the answer to that. The reason is because the informants the government had worked primarily with Adidas. Second, it sounds like in general Nike might have been paying less than Adidas or Under Armour for specific players. There are a couple of emails and texts with complaints about how much the other 2 were paying out. Basically Nike was able to pay less due to brand equity. Now, Nike's grassroots organization is the largest of the 3 show companies so it could likely be paying out more overall, it was just spread over a wider base. They almost sounded like the mafia - we are playing by a code, our competitors are not playing by that code. Finally, i don't know how Arizona avoids having their season with Ayton wiped from the record books and penalties assessed. Everything that the NCAA needs is basically in this release and that doesn't even include the evidence the government collected but did not use in the trials. [/QUOTE]
