Apologies to Sonny Vaccaro, I was wrrr– | S1 Ep4

Thanks for supporting Season 1. Episode 4 is brought to you by Nick Hopwood and Peak Wealth Management! After Carl Grapentine tees us up, we get right into it naturally starting on uniforms and shoes:

  • A listener question on the U-M apparel contract sparks a chat about these deals and on Sonny Vaccaro, the Nike/Adidas shoe-marketing wizard portrayed by Matt Damon in the movie ‘Air’ (alongside Ben Affleck who portrays quirky Nike founder Phil Knight, here from the 2007 Oregon-Michigan game):
  • Speaking of money, we give our spin on the mess (as we’ve learned) concerning the Big Ten TV contract. And why Kevin Warren isn’t getting his bonus.
  • Following up on the ACC conference drama, Big Ten expansion, and the considerations of the big schools keeping their share of the postseason money.
