A look at the sneaker deals of the Final Four teams
Posted Apr 1, 2017
The University of North Carolina, alma mater of Nike endorser Michael Jordan, will get $3.9 million from Nike this year, including $3.4 million in gear and $475,000 in cash. The cash includes money for travel. The deal expires June 30, 2018, and could be the next collegiate mega-deal, given the university's athletic pedigree and sizable alumni base.
