I approve of this timeframe!

Nike’s involvement in college athletics dates back to 1985 when the apparel company delivered team-colored Nike Dunks to numerous schools around the country as part of its “Be True To Your School” campaign. But it wasn’t until 1997 when the Arizona Wildcats became the first team outfitted in full Nike apparel and footwear to win the national championship.

Since then, 10 Nike — or Jordan Brand — schools have won a combined 20 national titles while competitors Adidas, Reebok and Under Armour have just three total national titles during that same 23-year span.

With that, the list of schools that will have the gold tab on their jerseys this season include Arizona (1997 national champions), Kentucky (1998 and 2012), UConn (1999, 2004, 2011 and 2014), Duke (2001, 2010 and 2015), Syracuse (2003), North Carolina (2005, 2009 and 2017), Florida (2006-07), Villanova (2016 and 2018) and Virginia (2019).
