Kansas athletic director Jeff Long says the athletic department is still processing a potential extension with Adidas that was announced last September but was never signed.
Long, speaking at a KU pep rally at Corinth Square on Friday, said he’d had meetings with both chancellor Douglas Girod and other university officials about the proposed 12-year, $191-million Adidas deal.
“We’re working through that,” Long said. “We’re very optimistic that we’ll finalize everything soon.”
The original oral agreement appeared to hit a snag following the FBI’s investigation into Adidas and its involvement with steering college basketball players.
