Auburn Ends UA Partnership, Signs Nike Apparel Deal

Auburn University has officially ended a 19-year partnership with Under Armour by signing a 10-year apparel deal with Nike, making Auburn one of the highest-paid Nike-sponsored programs in the nation. The transition, set to begin in July 2025, has generated excitement among coaches and administrators for its potential to elevate Auburn's brand and recruiting, though some fans have expressed displeasure on social media.
