Jordan's son won't wear Adidas at UCF...school facing $3M dilemma


I wonder what underwear Marcus Jordan wears, if he eats at Burger King, if he has ever drank Vitamin Water or had a bowl of Frosted Flakes? Someone has to know what brand of hog dog he has during lunch or at cookouts.
 



Why should the school lose their contract because he doesn't wan't wear Adidas???? He should taken his ass to a school sponsored by Nike.
 
This has nothing to do with rules. Wearing a certain brand is not a rule. Not having braids or gold teeth is a rule.

This is a matter of advertising. Addidas dont want to lose out on their $3mil investment.

Ucf surely known when recruiting lil jordan that he would bring the family business wit him. Why would they ask him to wear addidas and his dad is the ceo of their rival? Ucf is licking their monetary chops at this potential new bargaining chip for a new endorsement deal.

3mil huh?
 
From what I've read, while being recruited, Marcus addressed this with the recruiter and was told that it wouldn't be a problem.

I wish students would realize that RECRUITERS LIE... they will do ANYTHING to get you on campus.... Ive heard so many stories from AAMU basketball players about what they were told on their recruiting trips... if it goes on at AAMU, I KNOW it goes on, on a much larger level with D1 schools.. (yes I know SWAC schools are D1, but you know what Im talking about.)
 
dont think Jordan needs to be or will be buying that Contract. Why Cause he wants his son to never have something over his head thats Reads, " His Dad Paid for him too Play" would you do that to your Kid that already having problems living up to what you did?
ANd If he came to Grambling or any other SWAC school I sure He could wear Jordans plus the Alumni and Players would be working on gettin a Free pair. We would be calling for our Coaches head if he didnt get what he wanted.. But we would put some butts in the seats... And he would be all Swac avg 3 pts a game..
UCF is going to ride this out and get the free Press.. and the 3 stripe Brand would love to have Jordan in their Shoes.. I willing the Bet that UCF and Jordan makes a lot of Commercials if he has to wear those shoes... Boy Adadis would love to see Jordan in those Schools, talking about a Victory...
 
i see it like this.. you work for coke, you are a stock holder for coke, you get bonuses if coke sells. How would you feel if your wife or husband bring nothing but pepsi in your house?
his dad is Jordan Brand, why heck would he wear a shoe thats not in the best intrest of his future? When he turns 23 Jordan Brand is going to be paying his insurance, Car note, townhome note, and anything else... At 45 jordan Brand will be still paying his Bills so Those Shoes are his livelyhood..
 
Jordan's son refusing to wear adidas at UCF

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A fight over the shoes Michael Jordan's son will wear at the University of Central Florida could cost the school financially.

Freshman guard Marcus Jordan is refusing to wear shoes made by adidas, the brand the university has a contract with for all its sports. He says he will only wear his father's Nike Air Jordan shoes because they hold special meaning to his family.

The problem is UCF is in the final year of its contract with adidas that requires coaches and athletes to use the company's apparel and equipment. UCF says its five-year deal with adidas ends June 30, 2010.

Rest Story
 
I remember when Ford, Gm or Chrysler would fire workers is they drove other products than the company you worked for. This is about a bigger brand and business. It's not personal. It' s business to the Jordan's.
 
Many times the shoe deal covers every aspect of the Athletic department. I don't know, but I have yet to see a Jordan football shoe or a Jordan shoe for running.

UCF is in C-USA, which is not a big money generating conference. Losing a shoe deal over a 18 year old kid is STUPID. Either put on the shoes or he is disciplined!

Well let Dad write that check and end this mess.

UCF is loving because they get some more attention.

And Lil Jordan needs to realize something-if he was that good he wouldn't be at UCF or had to walk on at Illnios in the first place.

He knew going to that school and what shoes they wear. He could have asked that BEFORE signing with the team. He's trying to get some attention too and soory it makes him look bad. How many kids would LOVE to be where he is-in college and playing for a team?


Now if the school does lose that money-he won't be on that team for too long because the other sports will lose that money too.

Using your own logic, why would the boy sign a letter of intent with a school that contracts with a company other than Nike??? Makes a lot more sense to me for him to make sure he signed where Nike had the deal. He made the choice. I don't see UCF breaching the contract for him.
 
I think both sides are stupid as he!!. Lil Jordan and the school. Yall already knew about each other. So, good for both of you for having these complications....:clap:
