Undaunted, the company recently opened Nike Sports Management, a division that offers athletes "total management contracts," including endorsements, career guidance and marketing advice. The first three to sign: basketball stars Alonzo Mourning and Harold Miner and former Notre Dame quarterback Rick Mirer. Under the deal, Nike represents Mourning, for example, in nearly every aspect of his life, right down to finding him a townhouse (a Nike representative had the shower heads and counters raised for the 6-ft. 10-in. player), choosing what soda he drinks and telling him where to buy his stereo equipment...
