Or perhaps all G5 conferences together...

How about the Weedeater 12, the Alphabet 12, or the Sysco 12? Somehow I think whatever corporation would pay for this naming right that it would result in a lot of ridicule both for the corporation and for the league itself.

It's just crazy how far this has gotten. Logos on jerseys. The name of the conference themselves. EVERYTHING is for sale. I remember a thread not long ago where someone didn't want to ADD TEAMS, because it ruined the sanctity of the storied history of the MAC Championship.

There was a lot of uproar about corporate sponsors on NBA jerseys, and then it turned out to be a big yawn. In Europe, nobody questions the history and tradition of the Premier League because it's the Barclays Premier League. In practice, it's basically just a word a broadcaster says in the intro to a broadcast, and another logo that shows up some places. But it basically never actually penetrates the vernacular of fans, and just ends up being another logo amongst 1000 logos on every broadcast, or at every stadium.

I agree, I tend to believe it'll be small - but we're talking about professional sports here vs colleges. Just something else to further drive apart the haves (THE KROGER STATE ANTHONY THOMAS BUCKEYES) and the have nots (Ohio University Siemen Cats).

Look where we are today. Everything and anything can and will be monetized. I wonder how long it will be before churches start sporting corporate logos?

We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Thank goodness the Poulan Weedeater Independence Bowl changed all that.
