NCAA OKs on-field sponsor logos for regular-season football games

[phoenix4nu]

"Starting this season, the NCAA will allow commercial sponsor advertisements on football fields for regular-season games in all three divisions, the organization announced on Thursday.

The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved the recommendation from the Football Rules Committee. The rule allows for corporate advertisements to be placed in three spots on the field: A single advertisement centered on the 50-yard line, along with no more than two smaller flanking advertisements elsewhere on the field. It can be done on a game-by-game basis or for the entire season."

They are systematically ruining the sport I love.

Wait, on the field or digital just for the TV audience, which makes way more sense.

But it would be cool to be in the huddle and go "Look, we don't have time, you...just run to the Doritos logo and turn around...you...get to that Ford logo FAST, on two, on two"

As long as the CU coach isn't allowed to put "Prime Time" on our 50 yard line next September I guess I'm ok with it.

Real football programs wont do this.

But, but, but.... They need more money. It's all about maximizing revenue. What good is college football if everything that is done is not solely about getting more money in the short term?

Bull Shit, they will lead the way. Money is king; everything else is secondary. The worship of the almighty dollar supersedes everything else today.

Every football program will do it.

Correct. The Charles Schwab logo will be on the Nebraska 50 yard line eventually.

I don’t think we will cover up the logo on the 50 - but do see it like the NBA where they are close to the sideline around the 25 yd line.

Then of course logos for the line of scrimmage line and the 1st down marker.

And digital logos for the officials to be a changing billboard when announcing penalties.

I doubt it. I could be wrong but I dont see a school like Notre Dame doing it.

I wonder if NBC is involved in these decisions. If so I’m sure the $50M can be a bit persuasive.
