Phil Knight put $100 million out for the arena to be built.
Coach K Court was done in honor of Coach K at Duke.
Basically in all the articles I've read, UO wanted to be the Boise State of Basketball with the court design.
When did Nike get into court/field designing? I noticed that it was their design team that did the court.
