Katy ISD is set to approve a five-year, $3.5 million contract to BSN Sports to provide Nike uniforms to its varsity sports teams.
The contract was discussed at a district work study board meeting Monday and was agreed to be approved upon at the regular board meeting Aug. 27.
The district sought an exclusive uniform apparel supplier for its varsity teams and entertained bids from Nike, Adidas and Under Armour. The agreement includes footwear and coaches’ apparel, but does not include equipment or protective uniform apparel.
The district anticipates spending about $700,0000 per year on the agreement in the contract. If the agreement is eventually approved upon, programs will phase out contracts with current uniform providers before switching to Nike, assistant athletic director Charlie Stevens said.
“This agreement is only for varsity team sports; however, all of our individual sports and other sports will have the opportunity to take advantage of the discounts and incentives if they choose,” athletic director Debbie Decker said. “The proposals are all about the same; however, the incentives are what differentiate and lead us to the recommendation of the BSN Nike proposal.
“This agreement will provide all of our sports the opportunity to take advantage of the overall success of our athletic programs.”

Critical levers Astros can pull as health concerns, deadline pressures grow

Houston center fielder Jake Meyers was removed from Wednesday night’s game against Cleveland during pregame warmups because of right calf tightness.
Meyers, who had missed the last two games with a right calf injury, jogged onto the field before the game but soon summoned the training staff, who joined him on the field to tend to him. He remained on the field on one knee as manager Joe Espada joined the group. After a couple minutes, Meyers got up and was helped off the field and to the tunnel in right field by a trainer.
Mauricio Dubón moved from shortstop to center field and Zack Short entered the game to replace Dubón at shortstop.
Meyers is batting .308 with three homers and 21 RBIs this season.
After the game, Meyers met with the media and spoke about the injury. Meyers declined to answer when asked if the latest injury feels worse than the one he sustained Sunday. Wow, that is not a good sign.
Asked if this calf injury feels worse than the one he sustained on Sunday, Jake Meyers looked toward a team spokesman and asked "do I have to answer that?" He did not and then politely ended the interview.

Lack of imaging strikes again!
The Athletic's Chandler Rome reported on Thursday that the Astros didn't do any imaging on Meyers after the initial injury. You can't make this stuff up. This is exactly the kind of thing that has the Astros return-to-play policy under constant scrutiny.
The All-Star break is right around the corner, why take the risk in playing Meyers after missing just two games with calf discomfort? The guy literally fell to the ground running out to his position before the game started. The people that make these risk vs. reward assessments clearly are making some serious mistakes.
The question remains: will the Astros finally do something about it?
