Exactly some individuals in FF are having a meltdown about 2 pilot logos on the field.If they are paying $21M/yr to athletes then we basically have that entirely covered with this deal. Smart on Danny White’s part. I probably would have done a 10 year deal instead due to revenue sharing probably inflating over time but it’s nice to have all that money locked up.
20 years locks up the Neyland Stadium and Shields Watkins Field for the entire 20 years. That’s significant.If they are paying $21M/yr to athletes then we basically have that entirely covered with this deal. Smart on Danny White’s part.

And some fans are still bitching.20 years locks up the Neyland Stadium and Shields Watkins Field for the entire 20 years. That’s significant.
They are contributing to stadium improvements as well as maintaining it for 20 years.
As well as $21 million NIL dollars a year for 20 years. That’s $420 million.
It supports the University and stadium, takes care of the athletes, and ties the two brand together. It’s a win win IMO.
