This fall, Nike will be releasing a special pack that pays tribute to the helmets of some of the nation’s most legendary college football teams. This Nike Vandal High is inspired by the program with the most wins in NCAA Division 1-A history, the Michigan Wolverines. The upper features the iconic maize winged stripes that have covered Michigan’s helmets since 1938 and is constructed from super shiny materials that resemble the helmet’s sheen. The navy ankle strap features the number 72, possibly a nod to the origin of the Swoosh or maybe some piece of Michigan history. Look for these some time this fall, joined by a few more Nike sneakers honoring other classic college football helmets. Thanks again to J. Gibson for the photo.

Michigan Football accounts for 72 percent of the revenue for the school’s self-supporting athletic department, which has a budget of $76.3 million and sponsors 25 varsity teams.

That’s the same of nearly all major colleges, save the rare exception where bball is much more popular/successful than football (think Duke, Gonzaga, etc). Basically, everything other than football and men’s basketball lose money, so those two sports support most of the other programs
