Raleigh, N.C. — North Carolina State University has signed an exclusive 4-year sponsorship and product-allowance agreement with Adidas, athletic director Debbie Yow announced Wednesday.
The deal makes NC State one of the 13 BCS schools to partner with Adidas.

Chris McGuire, the director of sports marketing for Adidas, said the company is excited to extend its current partnership to outfit all 23 varsity sports at NC State.
