Jim Boeheim says No Nonsense From Nike
It was refreshing to hear from College Basketball Commissioner Jim Boeheim on the Play-for-Pay Scandal that has overshadowed the buildup to this season.
Boeheim surprised everybody with his take: There’s no problem with the Nike schools.
Nike does not play games. There are so many programs affiliated with Nike that the brand has slugged it way to the top of the college sports landscape by coloring inside the lines. Nike plays no favorites.

When a Nike school is locked in a recruiting battle with an adidas or Under Armor program, Nike stays out of it. Syracuse can sell Boeheim’s sunny personality and the spectacular winter weather in central New York.
The Commissioner has spoken.
