The clothing/sportswear logo makes perfect sense. It’s relative. People buy officially licensed merch, from the school, from said brand. It’s part of why a brand like Nike or Adidas signs a deal with the school in the first place.

But now I wonder, will the fan merchandise of say, Indiana, include a Chipotle and Google logo on the fan jerseys? On the t shirts? It’s stupid.

Excellent point about the fan merchandise!!!
NCAA rule talks about game unis worn by players, they can't dictate what goes on fan gear, can they?

I mean I don't really see Addidas putting a Pilot or Weigels logo on a fan jersey unless they are somehow cut in on that deal...right?

I can live with this, but when every game goes to PPV then I'm out. I'll listen to Mike Keith.

Still think ESPN or someone is missing out by not having something like NFL Sunday Ticket.

Doesn't have to be access to every game that day, but could be customized like only conference games, or Top 25 games, etc.

This French’s mustard third down “Wiegel George McIntyre ” is going to be looking to go deep out past the Applebees 35 yard line for a Calhouns first down. What an exciting Fairlife fourth quarter we are having fans. As a reminder this broadcast is brought to you by Food City; official chicken breast provider to the Vols Vitamin World nutrition program.

The Dallas Cowboys' radio broadcasts already do exactly this!

If they start putting ads on my fan jersey, then I want a $25/mo. advertising fee! I already tell the car dealers this, "I'll leave your advertising license plate frame on my car for a mere $25/mo. advertising fee!" 😂

Eh, I won't even pay for that. I'm on the verge of cutting the cord and going streaming as it is ($100/mo.).

It's already starting...
Local school is a perennial state powerhouse.
Local radio station has agreed to be their only broadcast partner and gives the high school money for that agreement.

In turn, the station sells "ad sponsors" for certain things, like the insurance company down the road has "bought" 1st downs..."That's another Insurance Services 1st down" on the radio every time one is achieved.

Local school was also approached by local car dealer when it came time for stadium upgrades like new scoreboard. So now they have Charlie Chevy Stadium at Patriot Field.

So, its happening already. Just not on the cosmic level of college yet...yet.

Most of what you describe has been there for a long time, probably getting worse, but that money goes to help defray team expenses. I was wondering when they would just out right start buying players. The private schools are doing that now, so when does the public schools say me too?

On second thought...

It’s beyond stupid and will cause me to purposely go out of my way to not do business with those advertisers

Shouldn't be allowed until politicians do it first.

Would you support this proposed law?

"Requires all politicians to place logo patches identifying their five biggest donors and that those donor patches be placed on their behind just above the "Kick Me Here" patch."

I believe a trial run is in order: Perhaps we "Volunteer" Nate Oats, the bama AD and Greg Sankey plus all NCAA management.

The portal/NIL madness can be overhauled. I’m expecting a change in the window and/or transfer limits to one time per player, as well as a cap on NIL. But if we let Pilot and Amazon on our uniforms to start, this is just adding more fuel to the fire. College football and college sports in general can be saved, but we’re at a crucial point now where someone needs to step in.

He who hesitates loses is something to remember. When there are only 12 slices of pie and there are 20 people wanting a pieces of pie, you had better be in the first 12 if you want to get a pieces of pie. Some teams, even little leagues wear sponsor’s names on their jerseys. If it brings in additional NIL funds, cover the uniforms with patches. If/when some rules are established , buy New Jerseys. Don’t do what Clemson did and coat your team.

What’s next, corporate sponsors on the end lines, championship trophy like NASCAR? Please, Danny, no logos on the jerseys. If you got to, put them on the grey POS.
