NO BIZ LIKE SHOE BIZ: AZ TO CHANGE TERMS OF UNIV. DEAL?

          A Univ. of AZ committee is "moving toward giving"
     university athletes the "right not to wear Nike or other
     corporate logos," according to Bruce Pascoe of the ARIZONA
     DAILY STAR, who reported that "such a move could have little
     impact" with the men's basketball team, as coach Lute Olson
     and two veteran players say that the "players generally
     don't have a problem" wearing Nike.  While the proposal
     "would not affect" UA's current Nike deal that runs through
     next year, Faculty Senate Chair Jerry Hogle said that it
     "would only force UA to include  provisions allowing
     student-athletes the choice not to wear a particular logo in
     all future contracts" (ARIZONA DAILY STAR, 11/4).
          A SPONSORSHIP ENCLAVE: In DC, Jim Hage examined Reebok
     dropping its sponsorship deal with The Enclave, "one of only
     a handful of post-collegiate" track & field training groups
     in the U.S. (see THE DAILY, 11/3), and wrote that the
     company "provided more than" $100,000 annually to the group. 
     Octagon's Renaldo Nehemiah said that he has had discussions
     with "numerous potential corporate sponsors," including AOL,
     Xerox and Verizon, as well as shoe companies like adidas,
     New Balance and Asics (WASHINGTON POST, 11/4).
