Nike’s contract with Penn State was put under a microscope Tuesday morning at the ongoing trial brought by the university’s former football doctor.
Penn State orthopedic consultant, Dr. Scott Lynch roams the sideline before the Michigan game at Beaver Stadium. The fired doctor is now in Dauphin County Court.At issue in the Dauphin County Court case of Dr. Scott Lynch was what his attorney called a “no spatting” clause in the $1 million-plus-a-year contract with the athletic shoe company inked in 2005.
Marino then pointed out that “spatting” – taping a player’s ankle over the shoe and covering the Nike logo – is “inconsistent” with the contract and could amount to a “material breech.” The defense also pointed out that some Nike football cleats have the logo on the toe and heel so that even taped shoes still show the logo. The defense introduced photos of former PSU players, including quarterback Christian Hackenberg and Saquon Barkley, with their ankles taped during games and the Nike logo still visible.
