'Check Up On It': Nike deal with LSU declining in relative value, renegotiations likely imminent

Former defensive end Sam Montgomery spent much of his time at LSU
adorned in purple and gold, an unmistakable swoosh dotting that
wardrobe from the practice field to the classroom.
That look became second nature for Montgomery, as the Nike logo pervades LSU’s Athletic Department, with the apparel giant pumping nearly $11.9 million into Tiger sports during the course of its potential seven-year deal with the department.
The contract, guaranteed for six years with a school option for a seventh, could be up for renegotiation this year, and several factors would shape those talks.
The waning value of the present deal, the half-million-plus sum LSU still foots to outfit its teams, minor incentive bonuses and a small cash payout highlight Nike’s current commitment.
“You grow up seeing that check, that swoosh everywhere,” Montgomery said in November. “To wear it every day for your team and school, that’s a dream.”
ACTUAL VALUE
Nike isn’t the only company to sponsor Tiger athletics — Wilson has a deal with the baseball team and negotiations for a new softball equipper are ongoing — but it helps outfit or equip all of LSU’s teams.
LSU doesn’t see most of that $11.9 million value in cash.
Like all collegiate deals, most of that number involves Nike allotting the school inventory — facemasks, shoes, jerseys, etc. — to buy at wholesale or retail price.
“You see a lot of gaudy numbers released, but the major breakdown comes from how much you can buy wholesale vs. retail,” said Mark Ewing, the LSU Athletic Department’s chief financial officer. “If your contract is for $10 million but includes mostly retail guarantees, then it’s worth probably more like $5 million.”
$9.8 million of LSU’s deal goes toward covering equipment and apparel purchases from Nike.
The other $2 million plus change is paid in cash via yearly installments called “sponsorship fees.”
LSU’s deal is in its fifth year, making this athletics season an appropriate benchmark for the contract’s terms.
For the 2012-13 school year, Nike owes LSU $300,000 in cash while providing access to $1.27 million and $187,000 in wholesale and retail gear, respectively.
That wholesale allotment jumps to $1.35 million for each of the next two years, assuming LSU exercises its option for 2014-15.
According to Neal Lamonica, the department’s director of fiscal operations, that money flows into the Athletic Department, not the University.
LESS THAN IT SEEMS
Lamonica said those figures seem exorbitant but don’t cover the full cost of equipping the Tigers.
Despite Nike’s sponsorship, Athletic Department expenditures reveal LSU still spent more than $505,000 on athletic equipment for the 2012 fiscal year.
Unsurprisingly, $173,512 of that (34 percent) went toward football. However, only $7,590 covered additional costs for basketball, LSU’s second most profitable sport.
Ewing said those numbers can be misleading, possibly because a sport’s roster size plays a substantial role in determining how to allocate resources.
“We’re always trying to stretch Nike dollars as far as we can, and [Nike] is a premier supplier for basketball gear,” Ewing said. “There’s also a great amount of [football] stuff — you’re talking pads, uniforms, cleats, helmets — and it involves equipping 115 to 120 student-athletes. A sport like basketball or soccer has far fewer players and not as much equipment.” Read more...http://www.lsureveille.
