In the aftermath of the FBI investigation that resulted in 10 college basketball-related arrests and placed the dealings of shoe companies in question, UNC coach Roy Williams told ESPN that Nike has never aided him in securing players. "They've never helped me get any player, never insinuated, never done anything," Williams told ESPN in an exclusive interview on Monday.
