I read that yesterday and it sounds like MJ was on board immediately as was Harbaugh when Jordan contacted him.
Quite a few NFL stars are already Jumpman ...this is just the first CFB program to get it.

Weird. MGoBlog is pointing to Jay Harbaugh without mentioning the Woodson part.
Jim, when and how did the conversation go down or the idea for you guys to reach out to them and the conversation between you and Michael?
“Second day on the job I said I really want to be Nike. About a month or two after that my son, Jay, younger guy, you know, 26, 27 years old said ‘Hey Dad, I think he we should be Jordan.’ ‘Hey, great idea.’ It all went into motion and ended [when] Michael Jordan called me on the telephone and said that they wanted us to be the first and only football school, program, in the world to be Jordan. I said, ‘You had me at “Hello.”’ We’ve been working for this for a very long time.

Do I understand the brand logo hype? No. But after reading this (statement by Harbaugh and Jordan) I'm kind of glad the students reacted as much as they did.
I don't want Michigan to be the next Oregon, but I do see value in their relationship with Nike.

Chuck has been with Jordan for a really long time. I believe he and McNabb were the first two NFL players to wear Jordan cleats. I had the first Woodson shoes made by Jordan back in 2001.
