• Penn State confirmed it is running a formal Request for Proposal to evaluate its next apparel partner.
• No agreement has been finalized, and the next Board of Trustees meeting is scheduled for Sept. 11.
• Penn State has been a Nike school since 1993, so a change would end a partnership spanning more than three decades.
• Adidas has recently added high-profile college programs, including Tennessee in a deal reported around $10 million per year, as NIL considerations shape apparel contracts.
