Out of Control or The American Way? You Decide

Proposed Cornhusker apparel deal:

So a big name school is getting free uniforms and shoes AND getting paid to have their athletes wear the stuff AND Adidas can write it all off as an advertising/marketing expense AND Adidas will no doubt snare quite a few extra seats inside Memorial Stadium because of it. This just leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. If I run out to Dick's to pick up a pair of sneakers, I am pretty damn sure I am paying extra for this crap. But I guess no one is forcing me to Dicks, so maybe it is nothing more than the American way.
Thoughts? For comparison, does anyone know what kind of deal we have with our provider (which I think is also Adidas).
