According to Canzano, Utah is an unlikely cancellation target. The Utes’ current deal with Under Armour is about $1 million annually in cash while the rest of the deal comes in apparel. Utah is four years into their 10-year, $65 million contract with Under Armour.
Utah, UCLA and Cal are the only three Pac-12 schools to have an apparel deal with Under Armour. Oregon, Oregon State, Washington State, USC, Stanford, Colorado and Arizona all have deals with Nike. Washington and Arizona State are under contract with Adidas.
