Selling the naming rights to your own conference name is a new low. So much for the same conference that wanted to honor its history by keeping the "12" in its name after Colorado, Nebraska, A&M, and Mizzou bolted. No more shame, I see.
This sounds like a ridiculous gimmick that our new AAC commish would have came up with when he was spewing at his presser. Maybe we can get Brint Ryan involved again to rename our conference the Ryan Athletic Conference. Love a nice RAC!
I hate you for making me agree with you. But damned right.
This might end up worse than NIL. "Our new QB has signed a 4 year college deal with Mountain Dew. Please respect our decision while he finishes his free nursing degree and we absorb 10% of your schools student fees for 10 years whether you are good or not"
Your statement indicates that you lack an understanding of how today’s college football staffs work.
There is ZERO chance that the coaching staff (not analysts necessarily) isn’t in on who will be starting at QB when it’s pre-ordained or determined before/early in camp.
It’s candidly discussed in coaches’ meetings (with entire staff or the offensive side of the ball) and codified in coaches-only depth charts.
When any of the HC/OC/QB coach tells a QB recruit or roster QB anything related to open/no competition, it’s been orchestrated.
And often it’s understood anyway, when NIL is allocated across the QB room and roster.
Thus my point: it don’t matter.
