You'd think Phil Knight would go to bat for the younger Jordan here and "arrange" to provide equipment for the University at the same rate as Addidas -- given the billions of dollars Mike made for his company.

This reminds me of Friday Night Lights when Boobie Miles was ranting about his black nikes
Just like the Roger Harden situation back in the day at UK. Except Harden's dad wasn't an international superstar. But he did work for a competing shoe company. (Did I just age myself by bringing up Roger Harden?)

Why did MJ's son end up at an Adidas school at all?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.

This http://beyondthearc.msnbc.msn.com/ar...2/2106124.aspx says it was supposed to be OK. But still.... you're 19 and a fringe player at a mid-major. You just aren't all that good and worth the trouble.
I'd say "son, we'll release you from your scholarship and you can be free to play at a Nike school. Good luck". There is an I in Air Jordan.
