There it is folks. You thought some people have principles and wouldn’t let the Nike machine buy them. Not so, as the Mike Smith debacle shows.
Disgusting to see. Brojos are next.

What do you think letsrun.com costs? Over/under 5 figures? If running websites were worth something then brandon miles wouldn't have gotten into the adult film industry lol
Everybody’s got a price for the Million Dollar Man. Including you.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
A couple hundred at least.
The domain would be worth a couple grand on its own.

Boy, you must live a very dramatic life
Are you saying you're going to work at the same job for the rest of your life as a token of your appreciation for being hired at the first place?
Nike could quadruple my salary and allow everything to stay the same and I would say no way. I know you will doubt me but it happened many years ago.
they offered me eleventy bajillion dollars and i turned it down too, nike in shambles, my high horse defeated them!!!111!!
While you can talk trash about Nike, I wouldn't be so naive to say I'd turn down the big $ from them if I was so good at my job they wanted me. It's just human nature, plus it can really open more doors and opportunities. Good on him for getting a good opportunity and taking it
Nike probably doubled his salary and Smith still gave NAU and all his athletes a years notice. look at Tennessee, that dude was out the door before the ink was dry on his Colorado contract.
What's left for Smith to accomplish at the collegiate level? This has nothing to do with principles but his own challenges. Don't forget he has a baby daughter and the collegiate seasons require much more travel than a pro coach. Probably has nothing to do with Nike, but the chance to create his own perfect situation for he and his family. After all, it's still America....and yes, name your price!
"The brojos would sell out too" as 15 ads cover my screen and i have to x some of them out just to post this message.
This message board has become the Fig Newton logo on the windshield in Talladega Nights.
you really think if nike bought this site there would still be message boards? your naive.
we can all complain if we want but letsrun is a mf haven of independent journalism/news/comment/incoherent mess (choose one or several).
it is SO RARE to have anything maintain its independence with corporations intermediating so many areas of life, especially online.
letsrun is incredible and i'm happy to support it.
its not without its issues for eg gault terrified of nike shutting him out, so having to pretend to believe shelby. or rojo's awful incoherent politics.
but it's our mess.
letsrun is like a messy uncle at the family bbq who is drunk and divorced but not harming anyone but themselves and is full of golden takes.
Did I miss something? Nike bought Citius?
His lifelong discipline is coaching distance runners… I’d personally like to see what he’s got when coaching the best runners in the nation.
By saying he should stay, you’re all presenting the running equivalent of turning down a C-Suite role at work because it’s more important to be the best middle manager in history.
Trashiest, seediest porn sites have less ads than letsrun lol.
The Brojos are next? They've made it very public that they would sell LetsRun for relatively little money. Guess what? No one wants it
