Mark Parker Nike CEO

i would love to marrie you

BillyB, I'm not guessing.

I was the team leader during the same 4 years that Parker was at Penn State. If he was on the team or was a training maniac, I wasn't aware of it. He was a team manager.

You have to understand something about Kenny Moore's writing, he tends to embellish on the facts, and sometimes, he even creates a few of them out of the blue.

From "Bowerman and the Men of Oregon" by Kenny Moore, p. 382, for example. "Mark Parker had gone to Penn State and run vast training mileage for Harry Groves, a coach almost as acerbic as Bowerman." Your guess is at least as good as mine who gave Moore that info. The same book says he graduated in 1975, but his Nike bio says 1977.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that Parker was a "training maniac" at Penn State? He was a team manager, that's it.
