THE JAYHAWKS' NEW TUNE: I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE SWOOSH

          The Univ. of Kansas and Nike signed a four-year deal
     that makes Nike the exclusive footwear and apparel supplier
     the school's 20 athletic teams, according to Bob Dutton of
     the K.C. STAR.  With "its royalty provisions for company
     sales of authentic competition apparel," the deal could be
     worth $2.5M a year for the university in revenue and
     supplies.  Nike will supply $105,000 in cash and $750,000 in
     product apparel each year, and will pay $20,000 a year for
     an athletic-department community service project and provide
     an undergraduate summer internship in Beaverton. The school
     will get 7.5% of all sales of authentic apparel, of which
     its Athletic Department gets 55%.  The deal does not contain
     any performance bonuses (K.C. STAR, 8/14).
