That's a bit misleading. It doesn't say he turned us down today. And it says it's "believed" that he turned away interest in Nebraska. So sounds like pure speculation. It's also possible Moos contacted him to discuss Frost.
same thing every time in these coaching hires - Initially solid information about whats going on - then once its basically settled but before its announced - the media keeps posting stories either false or misleading to get the clicks

The article said it was believed he turned away interest from Nebraska. It didn't seem like it even meant recently. Kelly knows Frost is coming here so of course he wouldn't be interested. He would prefer a Nike school anyway being buddies with Knight

Joe Klatt just said something interesting on Cowherd. Klatt brought up the fact that Chip and Nike's Phil Knight have more than just a business relationship but also have a very close personal friendship. UCLA is an UA school.

This is an ignorant thing to imply. Sounds like Klatt is grasping for something, anything, to talk about.

Sorry for the misleading headline. I saw the article was new and assumed it was recent

Not really. It's an angle that might be overlooked, especially considering Florida IS a Nike school and UCLA is not.
You’re just as dense then haha. It’s not an angle at all. A school’s equipment brand has nothing to do with whether or not a coach would coach there.

The original USA Today article says otherwise...

“A potential sticking point with UCLA is the school’s association with Under Armour, because of Kelly’s close relationship with Nike founder Phil Knight, who considers Under Armour a bitter rival.

Kelly is also believed to be intrigued by a potential opportunity at Arizona State, where Todd Graham’s status is tenuous. The Sun Devils have a relationship with Adidas, but that might not be as difficult an issue with Knight.”

Now whether or not you choose to believe the source is another issue, but it is being reported that the apparel brand of the schools is playing a factor for CK.

Is Kelly going to lose the $12 million reportedly on the table from San Francisco?

When you were hanging out with Chip and Phil the other day, drinking a few beers, they both told you this was all nonsense. Klatt does talk to these people. Fact: Knight forced Bellotti out so Chip could be the Ducks head coach. Fact: UCLA has a huge agreement with Under Armor

Tim, I am going to agree to disagree. After what is going on in college basketball right now you ought to know how much influence Nike, Adidas and UA have in college sports

I’ve heard people say Frost won’t come here because we are an Addidas school and he is close with Knight. I thought that was silly, but kind of the same argument.

Ok. I was just proving that there is a report from an actual valid news agency that is backing up what Husaria first said. I specifically said whether or not you choose to believe it is another issue.

It is a little ironic that you chose to quote me and use ignorance, when I am the one posting a link to an actual source of information that most would agree is more reputable than basically anything that has been posted on this board in the past month.

Fact: nothing you’re saying has anything to do with equipment used.
Fact: No coach has anything to do with any merchandise contracting.
