I think it's horrendous that a corporation can dictate to amateur athletes still attending an educational institution what footwear they have to use to play for the college team.

But if the university really did make that promise, they should rip up their contract with Adidas and sign a deal with Nike. If i was in Nike's marketing department, I'd sure as hell compensate them for any breach of contract. It's great PR for Nike and a no-win situation for the three stripes.

I should add, some premiership footballers have been known to wear one brand's boots made up to look like another brand. Perhaps that's an idea for Marcus.

Looks like we've got a resolution:

Marcus Jordan wins. No more adidas contract for UCF.

He'll look a lot better playing at UCF than he would have sitting on the bench at a better school. The other schools offering him were, I think, Iowa and Davidson. Maybe he'll turn out to be a great player worth all this fuss, I don't know.

I would like to highlight the following observation from the article:

Jordan wore a pair of white Air Jordans with no prominent logos. His teammates wore white adidas with black trademark stripes. Jordan also was wearing black ankle braces with the adidas logo prominently displayed. As a result, the only clear logos near his feet belonged to adidas.

I think that, this act shows a lot of sensibility to the school's situation with Adidas (which in my opinion, destroys the prima-donna theory). But on the other hand, he didn't want to give up on his father's legacy (which in my opinion, is completely legitimate).

Now, we'll have to wait and see what happens between UFC and Adidas.

I didn't read what everybody post, but if Marcus Jordan plays at BuzzerBeater (LOL), I just wanted to tell him to be as good as his father, than he could talk sponsors ...
