Michigan, North Carolina and Oklahoma are all part of the Jordan brand after having made the switch from Nike recently.
Now, an SEC school will join the mix, as the Florida Gators are expected to be making the switch to the Jumpman logo as soon as 2018.
According to a report by AlligatorArmy.com, the official announcement could come soon.
An image of the Gator logo alongside the Jordan logo showed up on the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium video board recently, prompting the rumors:

Whether or not the Gators make the switch before the 2018 season remains to be seen, but it does appear that there’s excitement building around a potential announcement.
Mullen is on board, so that’s a good sign for the Gators.
