As everyone, I've got an inside source at Nike. He's an exec in their football/baseball equipment division. I heard this a few weeks ago, but asumed that Nike beat out Jordan. So here is the little bit of the story I can confirm:
Jumpman will be on the jersey for sure. Get over it. Young people will love it.
People at Nike are PISSED that Jordan swept in and took this. Obviously the very top level execs are probably fine with it since Jordan is underneath them. But the Nike Football division is not happy that Jordan Brand is moving in on their turf. While in the end there will probably be some cooperation over Nike and Jordan football brands, you should assume that Jordan will start off with their own vision of how to outfit Michigan football. There will be different people designing O$U's, MSU's and Oregon's (etc.) uniforms than Michigan's.
Also, as everyone knows, MJ did reach out to Harbaugh.
