SAN DIEGO - San Diego State Athletics has reached a long-term agreement with Nike, expanding its agreement with the apparel provider through the 2023-24 season.
The new deal, which is now in effect, significantly increases San Diego State's promotional money from Nike. The extension ensures Nike remains the exclusive provider of uniforms, footwear, apparel and equipment for all 19 SDSU athletic programs.
"We value our long-standing relationship with Nike and look forward to advancing our partnership with this industry leader," SDSU director of athletics John David Wicker said. "We appreciate that Nike recognizes the tremendous successes of our 19 athletic programs. We are excited that our student-athletes will continue to be equipped with the best products in the industry."
Nike has been San Diego State's primary apparel provider since 2006.
This is the third major agreement recently announced by the athletic department. In February, SDSU entered a partnership with FOX Sports College Properties to manage its multimedia and sponsorship sales, while last week it was announced that 101.5 KGB and XTRA 1360 AM in conjunction with iHeartMedia will be the radio home of San Diego State athletic events beginning this fall.
San Diego State is enjoying another banner season, with six teams already having advanced to NCAA postseason competition. Since the beginning of the 2012-13 academic year, San Diego State has won 35 team conference championships. This decade, SDSU has had seven teams in six different sports finish in the top 10 at NCAA national championship competitions. The two-time defending conference champion football program has advanced to postseason play each of the last seven seasons, has won 11 games each of the last two seasons and ended the 2016 campaign ranked 25th nationally in both the Associated Press and USA Today polls. Since the start of the 2010 football season, San Diego State ranks fifth nationally in combined football and men's basketball winning percentage.
