The move, which would begin in the summer of 2019, would end the Huskies' 20-year partnership with Nike and rank among the top 10 deals in collegiate athletics.
Adidas will reportedly pay Washington $5.275 million in cash per year, while also adding $5.58 annually in product and $1.1 annually for marketing.
