The final verdict on Wolverine Shoe Wars are in: Michigan picks Nike.
All sports will wear the Nike Brand but the basketball teams will sport the very popular Jordan/Jumpman brand. Schools like North Carolina, Georgetown and Marquette also wear the Jumpman logo for basketball. If your wondering: Yes, it will help recruiting as most kids want to wear Nike and the now the Jordan brand. The deal will run from August 2016 -2027.
No financials were released but the rumor is Michigan left a few dollars on the table from Adidas to go back to Nike. It is expected this is Nike's largest University deal.
Jim Hackett lands Jimmy and Nike within 6-7 months and is now expected to turn the job over in the coming months. This might be the best run an AD has ever had! #Hackett Job!
