[B]Arisona State[/B] was and is an Adidas school, and was [URL='https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/college/asu/2019/04/25/fbi-college-basketball-trial-former-asu-coach-anthony-coleman-named/3580107002/']named in one of the federal bribery cases[/URL], which primarily involved Adidas schools. (One witness in one of the trials testified that former ASU assistant basketball coach Anthony Coleman met with former sports agency employee Christian Dawkins and undercover FBI agents to discuss bribes, but didn't receive money because he wasn't believed to have enough pull with prospects).

[B]Auburn[/B], by the way, was an Adidas school, and was [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/19/sports/chuck-person.html']named in one of the federal bribery cases[/URL]. (former Auburn assistant basketball coach Chuck Person pleaded guilty to accepting nearly $100,000 to steer his players toward agents and advisers who had bribed him).

Auburn has since switched to Under Armour (which was also [URL='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/27588859/gassnola-avoids-prison-college-bribery-scandal']named indirectly in one of the federal bribery cases[/URL]). (A cooperating witness testified that he agreed to pay a bribe to push Silvio DeSousa to play at Adidas school Kansas, and get out from under a pay-for-play scheme to send DeSousa to attend Maryland, which is sponsored by Under Armour).

[B]Rutgers [/B]is also an Adidas school. As far as I know, it was not named in any of the trials.
