Chick fil a does this every year to try and open up the college football season with a bang, instead of seeing every team play a cupcake the first weekend

Yeah...at a neutral site...in a weekend-long event called the Chick-Fil-A kickoff classic.
Nothing tacky about it. You're making way too big of a deal out of this.
Let's just do away with all sponsors and raise the money ourselves. How much extra are you willing to donate? $1,000? $10,000?

The Ball State game is a home game. Chick-Fil-A Classic was at a neutral site. Someone had to pay to rent the Georgia dome.

Re: Corporate Logos on football jerseys?

It's a regular season bowl game. The teams got invited to come play there. We got a lot more money than we usually do for an away game. Do you have a problem with Discover putting their name on or jersey for the OB? Or how bout Allstate in the Sugar Bowl?
Stop nitpicking, it was a little patch on 1 shoulder. It's not like it altered the entire look of our jerseys.

Yes. If having a 2" x 3" patch on the jersey brings relatively more in revenue than we would normally achieve, I'm all for it.

Nike, Under Armor, and Adidas all make sportswear, including player uniforms. They have a right to put their logo on their products, and they pay for schools to use their brand exclusively. So yes, that is slightly different than some of the other sponsors you mentioned.

they did set up the matchup, they're the ones that sponsored and advirtised the game so we could have a marquee game on opening weekend, so no I don't have a problem with them putting a patch on the jersey.

A home and home is just that. We would have been done with Auburn if someone didn't set up the matchup at a neutral site.

Because every game's not at a neutral site. And every game's not a primetime matchup that's promoted for months prior by a well-known company like Chick-Fil-A.
It's marketing...it benefits Clemson/Auburn...and it benefits Chick-Fil-A. There's nothing wrong with partnering with a company when both parties best interests are in mind. Unless you're a raging communist....which, you're campaigning hard for to make it look like you are.
I think I'm done. Most people agree that what your'e saying doesn't make any sense.

Don't be shocked when you see non-traditional programs start to do this.
I think we'll see teams like Memphis and Houston making corporate deals to try to close the TV revenue gap sooner rather than later. (unless there's an NCAA rule I'm not aware of)

So I continue to argue? You still haven't made a case that makes any sense.
All you've said is "herp derp we did it for the Auburn game why not do it for every game" when everyone has made it clear that there we specific reasons for doing it during the Auburn game...namely to promote the game and cover the costs of hosting at a neutral site...IN ADDITION to bringing more revenue.
It's fine that you have a viewpoint. You just seem to want to act like a kid about it all.

hopefully you don't own anything with a Nike swoosh, an Izod gator, or even a Clemson tiger paw. Because in that case you would be guilty of PAYING a corporation to display THEIR logo, which is even worse than getting paid to do it.

Sep 3, 2012, 2:02 PM

Putting their logos on their clothes. I don't generally go for the giant clothing company billboard style, but to each his own. I just question having college football players wearing additional corporate logos for regular season games. I'm fine with bowl games, but where do you draw the line. Ok, only neutral site games, ok, but only prime time games...etc...etc.

People actually tried to have a conversation with you but you are too dumb, ignorant, or too much of a troll to actually say anything different. It was the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Classic, so there is a patch on our jerseys. They also had cups all summer with our helmet on them. We got substantially more revenue than we would from an away game. We got a ton of publicity. So what is wrong with it?
