As Duke prepares for a Sweet 16 showdown with ACC foe Syracuse, questions are swirling about the relationship between Marvin Bagley III's family and Nike.

"Marvin Bagley Jr. and his wife filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in April 2008, during the Great Recession, listing their combined annual income at just over $44,000," the report said. "Four years later, shortly after Nike's sponsorship of the team became public, they left their working-class neighborhood in Phoenix for southern California. In a tax filing, the Bagleys listed a home address in a gated subdivision called Porter Ranch. Similarly sized homes in the vicinity typically sell for $750,000 to $1.5 million."

The Bagleys declined to comment to The Oregonian, and when contacted by WRAL News Friday, Duke University also declined to comment on the questions raised in the report.
