If it hasn't happened already, UMichigan is supposed to make that change soon, too. Good move for UM. Adidas has been part of the reason for UM's nosedive in coolness in recent years.

To commemorate its switch from Adidas to Nike this week, Tennessee officially unveiled its new uniforms across all sports on Wednesday.
This is a football blog, of course, so we’ll stick with the three new looks Butch Jones’ Vols will debut in the 2015 season.
"We wanted to make sure we are innovative. We wanted to respect the great tradition we have Tennessee and incorporate them with Nike," Vols head coach Butch Jones said.
Tennessee had been affiliated with Adidas since 1997. According to the Knoxville News Sentinel, UT's deal with Nike is worth "$750,000 per year less" than its Adidas agreement.
Nike gave UT a $2 million signing bonus, which the Vols received last summer. But even with that factored in, the $1.2 million per year Nike pays throughout the life of the contract is $750,000 per year less than UT’s deal with adidas.
