Rich! Nike was founded by a pretty arrogant guy, he used that attitude though to build a beautiful company and is now the ‘whale’ of your beloved Nike U. Please don’t upvote bitter WSU fans like Devon. His screed makes me wanna shower ;(

Matt, you're right about Phil Knight. He's not just "pretty arrogant", he's a complete jackass in arrogance. I've met the guy jogging around his home in Salishan while I was doing the same at my own home. Complete jerk to others when the cameras are not around. You're also right - he's a proven outstanding businessman. I love what he's done for the Ducks (he's also contributed heavily to Oregon State and Stanford) and hope he and his wife continue to do so.

As for Devon - I loved his post. I only wish I could have voted more than once.
