Michael Jordan's son's refusal to take the court in adidas shoes has caused quite a tempest in the world of athletic apparel and school contracts. University of Central Florida has a contract with sports apparel maker adidas spanning their entire athletic program. Marcus Jordan has agreed to wear adidas apparel, but has put his foot down, so to speak, about wearing their shoes; he prefers Nike Air Jordans, named for his own famous father.
UFC's athletic director, Keith Tribble, has stepped aside to allow Jordan to make the decision for himself, but adidas released a statement saying they might reconsider the terms of the university's contract if Jordan does not play in their shoes. Withdrawal of a portion of the contract compensation would leave the school's athletic program with a sizeable shortfall, one the elder Jordan might not be willing to shore up simply for the ego boost of his son wearing his namesakes.
Whatever. He ain't that great anyway. If he was he would be in North Carolina or at Georgetown somewhere.
