Just Do It.

If UCF takes a loss here, Daddy should be able to get one of his friends at Nike to pick up the tab.

Seriously, if they need to go with Air Jordan's, Mike/Nike should give them the deal. However, it could cost them more, as I would think Adidas could sue UCF for breach of contract as well, but I doubt they would want the bad press.

BINGO!

Is this kid even that good and worth all this trouble?

It would suck if Adidas decided to take their $1.9M and leave. What makes anyone think Nike would be willing to have anything to do with UCF once Marcus has gone?

you nailed it

If the only noteworthy stuff that's being mentioned are who his dad is and what shoes he wears, then I'm guessing not.

Let him do it for free but Marcus has to change his last name...

They brought in Jordan's son to bring attention to the program. They school knew that Marcus would not wear any other shoe than Air Jordans when they recruited him. They ars banking on his name being worth the amount they may loose from Addidas.

What's the big deal the kid can't play just get rid of him.

that is a pittance compared to what they are going to gain.

eh, I think this all works for UCF... you think they would have been in the news at all this year without MJ's kid? No press is bad press.

Have to agree with you Famurattler. They knew this before they even signed the kid and were trying to cash in on the fame of his father. Besides if the kid were really that good how come nobody from Duke, Georgetown, or North Carolina tried recruiting this kid.

Funny this week both of Jordan's non talented son's are in the college sporting news. One decides to go back to Illinois Basketball where he is no factor and now the one who has zero talent is wearing Nike at an Adias school. Wonder if the MJ publicists are earning their money?????????

Marcus not Michael.....Put on the shoes you self important twirp
