Shoe Company Market Share

As the "FBI Shoe Company Sting" has seemed to have gone quiet, I wondered what company had what. Obviously Nike probably has the biggest, but I looked at the basketball school conferences - the top 7 (included the American). Here's how it shakes out...

87 Schools
57 are Nike 65%
18 are Under Armour 21%
11 are Adidas 13%
1 is Russell Athletic 1%
I guess I thought Adidas would have been bigger?

4 UA
1 Adidas

ACC

9 Nike

2 UA
1 Russell Athletic

Big XII

Big 10

BTW Georgia Tech (the one program aligned with Russell) is moving to Adidas.

All the schools with Under Armour will be switching w/in 5 years. That company is dying.

Really? Admittedly I don't pay attention to that industry, so what's going on that it's dying? Too rapid expansion? Poor sales leading to a low stock price?

Just Google "Under Armour financial issues". Lots of articles.
