Update: With news breaking Tuesday morning of UCLA's 15-year, $280 million contract to leave Adidas for Under Armour, these numbers have been updated.
In keeping with springtime tradition, FootballScoop has updated its annual survey of FBS apparel contracts. Not much has changed year over year, but in tracking the industry's yearly movements are able to chronicle the shifting sands of time grain by grain.
Nike, clearly, is the far-and-away leader in the industry. The Swoosh has won back Michigan and Tennessee in recent years while fending off competition to retain Texas and Ohio State. In total, 74 of 128 (57.8%) of FBS programs are aligned with Nike and, equally important, Nike holds a majority or plurality in six of the 10 FBS conferences and all five Power Five leagues. In fact, 44 of the 65 Power Five programs -- a hair over two-thirds -- take the field each Saturday in swooshes.
Adidas once held a compact but impactful bloc of Midwestern power programs -- stretching from Michigan to Indiana and Notre Dame, up to Wisconsin and then down to Nebraska and Kansas. Half of that group is now gone: Michigan to Nike, Notre Dame and Wisconsin to Under Armour. The Three Stripes still cherry picks at the highest level -- they pulled Arizona State and Miami away from Nike in recent years -- but have mostly become bargain shoppers. Of the 28 FBS programs aligned with Adidas (21.8%), 17 are in Conference USA, the MAC (I'm including UMass in that number) or the Sun Belt.
Under Armour has shrewdly expanded from its base of Maryland, Texas Tech, Auburn and South Carolina, spreading its wings to 21 FBS programs (16.4%) and eight of the 10 FBS leagues. UA has added Cincinnati, Wisconsin and California of late and on Tuesday paired Notre Dame with UCLA among blue blood programs. Among that group, all but California was yanked away from Adidas, allowing UA to pass Adidas for second place in the Power 5 population. All this while passing Adidas as America's No. 2 sportswear brand and signing Steph Curry as its signature NBA endorser while Adidas is stuck with Derrick Rose and James Harden. Quite a winning streak Kevin Plank is on.
Finally, Russell Athletic continues to hang around in FBS with its group of four programs -- Georgia Tech, Ohio Southern Miss and Western Kentucky.
