Oregon is no more of a showcase for Nike gear than Alabama, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma or any of the other schools Nike provides apparel.
Nike isn't going to kill their relationship with the NCAA to get Oregon better players.
I disagree with this. Oregon's claim to fame before last season was their unique Nike provided ridiculous looking uniforms. Those other four schools have had the same gear for years, and the only way you even know they are a Nike schools is the small swoosh on the jerseys.
Nike money has made Oregon's facilities tops in the PAC12. That doesn't mean that Nike has any culpability in this, but I wouldn't write it off as impossible.
