It appears Washington is making the switch from Nike to Adidas, as sources told Adam Jude of the Seattle Times the school has agreed to a 10-year, $119-million deal with the apparel company.

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.

The move to Adidas would also add some fuel to the already fierce rivalry with Oregon, the Alma mater of Nike founder Phil Knight.
