: MediaTakeOut.com just learned of a DISTURBING report. Apparently Michal Jordan's son Marcus Jordan plays college basketball for the University Of Central Florida. And The University has a LUCRATIVE endorsement deal whereby they get paid BIG BUCKS, and the entire team has to wear Adidas.
Well Marcus did't want to play by the rules. MediaTakeOut.com learned that on Wednesday night, Marcus wore a pair of white Air Jordans during UCF's 84-65 win in an exhibition game against Saint Leo.
And that caused Adidas to ABRUPTLY end their contract with the school. Here's how the AP is reporting it:
"The University of Central Florida has chosen not to deliver on their contractual commitment to adidas," adidas spokeswoman Andrea Corso wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "As a result we have chosen not to continue our relationship with them moving forward."The deal was reportedly worth MILLIONS to the University.
Again your site only posts part of the story and all of you who judge should find out more before you make a judgement.
The school has an endorsement deal with Adidas, but there is no rule that a player has to wear their product it is just that way, because the ballers get the clothing and sneakers for free. he asked his coach before the season began if he could wear Jordans and his coach told him there was no problem.
Now, do you really think the school is not better off now, b/ce all he has to do to get them a endorsement deal with Nike or better yet Brand Jordan is call who?
Before he signed 2 go 2 school there, they told him that he would be able 2 wear what ever shoes he wanted. He actually talked 2 the school about it before he signed. I believe they just told him whatever he wanted to hear to get him to sign with them so they could get that extra publicity since he's "Micheal Jordan" son. They knew people would come out with hopes of seeing MJ. Then once the season was about to start, they tried to say he had to wear the Addias. Now I coach B-Ball so you should look as a team. BUT,they were wrong 4 that.They say whatever it takes to get these kids to sign.
This is the epitome of what's wrong with these spoiled ass celeb kids. His ugly acting ass should have been thrown off the team if he didn't want to comply ! Why should the "TEAM" lose out on a contract because of him? Get a grip lil boy yeah I sad lil boy because of how he acted...like a lil boy throwin' a tantrum! My DADDY is Michael Jordan if it weren't for that who would you be?.... Get your own identity lil fella !
Micheal Jordan is a jackass and so is his son. Keep giving these fools your money black folks, Micheal Jordan and his lil fruity looking son would spit in your face and take a dump on your feet before they would shake your hand. Defend these fools if you like because they wouldn't do it for you. Anybody who thinks Nike or Jordan himself would give this school one thin dime because Adidas dropped out is stupid. Mike is about Mike.

THERES NO WAY IN HELL JUST CUZ OF ONE KID, ADIDAS WOULD PULL OUT OF THE ENTIRE SCHOOLS ATHLETICS PROGRAM... DONT BELIEVE THIS STORY ONE BIT
Haters quit it. His dad is MICHAEL JORDAN. He's been wearing Nike ever since he was born. He wanna wear his dad's shoe then let him. I kno some of y'all didn't had a dad in your life so y'all don't understand. Blood is thicker. You damn sure ain't gonna see Tommy Hilfigure's son wear a FUBU clothing. Jack A$$e$
Ignorance is bliss! He apparently takes after his father. I saw on youtube where Michael Jordan was having a party and a rapper tried to get Michael to take a pic. with him and Michael started acting like he was too good to take the pic. So yeah I guess the son thought he was too good to wear adidas. Stooooopid decision cost them millions.
I admire him for standing by the compnay that sponsors his father BUT basketball is a team sport and he should've taken that into consideration.
UCF is in their final year of their contract with Adidas. I'm sure being that he's MJ's son, Nike will step in and sponsor the athletic department. I wish Marcus would've accomplished something on the court himself before doing something like this. He may have MJ's blood running through his veins but he doesn't have his talent on the court. If he did he'd be playing at a Nike sponsored school not UCF.
I wish MTO would stop posting half truths. The decision was a team one and the school backs him on his decision. If the school really wanted to keep the deal, wouldn't they just let him go? Come on. Let's use our common sense. They can not force that boy to wear the adidas and if he wants to wear his FATHER'S shoes....HE CAN!!!!
Don't know for sure about this but what if this was a planned way to get the school out of it's current contract? The school knew this would happen so they had a plan don't you think? Also don't forget they will make more than the value of that deal from increased ticket sales alone to see MJ's son play. Think things through BEFORE posting nasty comments.
I mean I kind of feel him. Adidas is breaking the SCHOOL off for HIM to wear THEIR shoes. His college fund is lined with Jordan profit. "F Adida" he says but on the other team they could have been like, "F you and you are off the team." but we all know he would have gotten in another school etc so on and so forth so IDK...but I DO know if it were my school dat lil nig would have had the sick face like "huh? You dropping me?" Yeah lil ol nig YOU! lol
