When Marcus Jordan, the son of basketball legend Michael Jordan, was being recruited by the University of Central Florida (UCF) to be a part of their basketball program, he asked if wearing his father's shoe brand during games would be a problem. And despite UCF having a six-year, $3 million-dollar contract with Adidas, which requires the school to use the company's shoes, apparel and game equipment, they told Jordan, no, there wasn't a problem and he can wear Nike Air Jordan shoes during games. Now that promise is biting (UCF) in the behind: Adidas isn't very happy.

"There is no compromise, and the contract is currently under review," Adidas spokeswoman Andrea Corso told the Orlando Sentinel. "We are in negotiations for a future relationship, regarding the broader UCF athletic program. What I can say is that these relationships are based upon agreed deliverables for both parties."

Of course, being that Nike and Air Jordan basically took care of Marcus and his family for so many years, he wants to continue to rock his daddy's shoes.

"When I was being recruited, we talked about it," Marcus Jordan told the Orlando Sentinel. "They said they had talked to the Adidas people and it wasn't going to be a problem. I think everybody understands how big of a deal it is for my family. It's a level of importance with the Jordan brand and my family. It's no disrespect to Adidas. I have a high level of respect for Adidas, but I'm going to be wearing Jordan shoes. I'm wearing the Adidas uniform, and all my other UCF gear is Adidas, but the shoes are going to be Jordan brand."

Nike has no interest in UCF, since they already have University of Florida, Florida State and the University of Miami locked down, so UCF is pretty much hoping Adidas doesn't bounce. The school is in its last year of the contract with Adidas.

"At this time, we are working with Adidas in determining how this unique set of circumstances will work for both parties," said the UCF Athletics Department in a statement. "We made Adidas aware of this unique situation during contract-renewal discussions. There is a great deal of respect for the Adidas brand and the partnership."
