Recruits pick a college for any number of reasons every year. Why did Michael Jordan, a four-star offensive line prospect from Canton (Mich.) Plymouth commit to Ohio State last week?

Jordan told the Detroit Free Press the deciding factor over offers from his home-state schools was academics.

More specifically: only Ohio State offers a combination of major and minor (international business and Chinese) not available at Michigan or Michigan State. Each school offers one but not the other while Ohio State has both.

We're sure Urban Meyer will take any recruiting victory any way he can get it.
