Commercialization coming in 2025...

[RhinoD]

NCAA rules committee is meeting next week to discuss allowing universities to put corporate logos on fields, jerseys, equipment, etc... Almost certain to pass given the revenue sharing model that is one the way.

Let's get ready to cheer on the "Marshall University Thundering Herd presented by Intuit and Nike at Joan C. Edwards Stadium by CSX and James F. Edwards Field brought to you by Kroger." (I'm being facetious, I could care less if the jerseys, field, etc have logos on them).

My only question is how much will ticket prices increase

Guess it will depend on how many corporate backers we can line up in the next year.

Marshall sports players will look like NASCAR drivers.

Just for the outrage entertainment, I am going to make a large donation so that Crisppi's Chicken will have a large logo.

We will get midway, frost top, Dutch Miller, and all the other normal sponsors.

More and more the ESPN dream of making college football AAA NFL and college basketball AAA NBA.

Remembering that minor league baseball and minor league hockey have dozens of fans and make tens of dollars.

The NCAA also agreed to allow UNLIMITED transfers

So you have paid players, who show up for a year and then move on, covered in commercial advertising.

Minor league.

And Marshall will never have a baseball stadium.

I am sure they will be told where they can stick it.

Maybe Chris Miller and his Duch Miller ads persona will become the "New Face" of MU Sports!!!!

Sports Business Journal reports that the "Big" 12 will sign a deal to be known as the "Allstate Insurance 12" as soon as next week.

Conference USA is reported to be close to signing at the "Globe Life Insurance Conference".
