University of North Carolina head men's basketball coach Roy Williams said Monday that he has never received aid from Nike in recruiting efforts during his time with the Tar Heels.
According to ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman, Williams denied Nike having any hand in convincing recruits to come to UNC.
"They've never helped me get any player, never insinuated, never done anything. I've dealt with Nike and Jordan Brand since I came back here, but we never even discuss things like that. So I know it's foreign to me," Williams said.
Williams' comments came in the midst of an FBI probe into college basketball, which includes allegations that Adidas employees worked together to funnel money to several programs' recruits, per ESPN.
