Neyland Stadium to be “preserved” by Pilot

[ru4real-really?]

History and tradition survives ownership!

Not too bad - still somewhat tasteful.
It's going to be a far cry better then what others are going to see on their fields - can't wait to see that giant swooping K sitting on the 25 of that stadium in Lexington.
If only we could get Bucc-ees to sponsor the stadium in Austin, TX...imagine that giant smiling beaver on the field...HAHAHAA

Well that changes my perspective on this a good bit.

As much as we like tradition, this actually is a decent way to keep traditions in place and get the $$$$$ to be absolutely top-tier in the new NCAA landscape.

Won't like seeing the logo on the field, but this certainly takes some of the sting out of it. It was inevitable.

That being said, Food City should take some notes on how this was done, but doubt they care.

Give it 2 or 3 years and you won't even notice it.

There are still plans to name the visitor’s sidelines the ”Titleist Vistor’s Sideline highlighted by Ffrench’s Mustard”

Is the school allowed to sell logo space only on the filed at specific yard markers, or can it be sideline as well?

If it's sideline too, I would contribute to getting a French's logo on the visitor's side for sure !!!

Aw, come on man! Every college is doing it, Gators are in a lawsuit now over reneging on an NIL offer to a QB, then changed their mind.

Nico will Pilot the Vols to a Natty!

Now you can enjoy more ads at the game while waiting for the official to get off the field during commercial break #32. Thanks corpo!

Why do gas companies even advertise? I go to whichever gas station has the lowest price. Period.

You misunderstand. I know everyone is doing it.

I just hate it.

I do too within reason. But if I need a clean restroom or good food, I will look for a Buc-ees or a QT. Pilot is acceptable too and they have great coffee

4-6+ years is what I’m worried about. First they hit you with the more subtle stuff to lessen the backlash. Then they introduce more and more crap on the field, jerseys, etc.

Thought experiment: Will you care if we win a natty in that time frame?

Lol why don't we put logos of opposing teams on there?? That would be hilarious!

 

[butchna]

Basically cancels out the $21 mil per the NCAA negotiated for us to settle THEIR malfeasance.

Well I don’t think we are winning a natty because of Pilot money. You still need elite coaching and leadership (among other things) or Texas A&M/Texas/Oregon would win it all every year.

I can't think of a better sponsor for them than Kroger since they self-checkout every season!

Not as terrible as I was fearing, still don't like it but again, part of the new college landscape and it helps boost the coffers of NIL to keep the 'cruits coming.

Well I don’t think we are winning a natty because of Pilot money. You still need competent coaching (among other things) or Texas A&M/Texas/Oregon would win it all every year.

The NIL money will contribute. I wouldn't say this deal has zero impact. That's a lot of money contributing to NIL.
