UK needs to get in on this game, quickly.
What sponsor do you think is most likely to sponsor UK?

OT: OSU FB signs $17 million dollar corporate partnership
- Thread starter TheResistance
- Start date
Would think with Batt on board now we will start hearing about things like that more. He’s a money guy and more forward thinking that Barnhart
Guess starting today wasn’t a start date
He started as soon as he seen me post that. I'm glad he's paying attention. Now get to work.Guess starting today wasn’t a start date
OSU and other traditional football powers will get the most traction out of these deals, I suspect. Major regular-season college football clashes regularly draw 10 million to 18 million viewers and top teams average over 8 million viewers, while elite college basketball regular-season games typically peak between 1.5 million and 3 million viewers. Being a top football team means more in shoe money and in these sorts of ventures. Football rich is truly rich.
Going to have patches on the jersey. Just wait this coming to UK basketball and football too unfortunately
I always wished Big *** Fans would sponsor us. Speaking of which, did I hear they went out of business?
That’s been a long time coming. I called that YEARS ago. Knew it would eventually happen.
I take it your stupid attack on the mods got you banned so you are back to openly being the Dandy Andy troll?
This is what NIL should’ve been all along. Last couple years of disorganization was unnecessary.
Let the kids get a little piece of sponsorship. Uni, conference, and NCAA doesn’t need to pay a dime god forbid. Let sponsors big and small in and let them pay.

That’s more than I ever would have predicted. Other than Notre Dame what school would be the next highest?
That’s more than our contract with Nike. I have never understood when I hear those numbers if it included or excluded equipment. This $17M is all money.
Chico's Bail Bonds
I feel like Jim Beam (and to a lesser extent Maker's Mark, Buffalo Trace, and Wild Turkey) are missing a golden opportunity to sponsor based on the lax NCAA rules governing alcohol sponsors now. Not sure UK Athletics or the SEC would allow it. I'm sure there would have to be approvals gallore.
Fill-Ups in Sandgap has offered UK 3 grand to place their logo on the FB teams jersey. Don't know if its been announced yet.
Yes basketball is 1.5-3 mil viewers for big games. But they play 35-40 times.
Theres no reason UK shouldn’t have a deal close to these.

Mich St signed a 10-year, $40m deal while Batt was AD there, which, seeing what OSU and Notre Dame got, looks like a pretty good deal for the sponsor and bad deal for MSU. Hopefully Batt can get us something better now that the market has been reset.
Get UPS and Ford on the line. SoFi just inked a 18M deal with Notre Dame today as well. We could really use that kinda cash for FB and Basketball per year. That is 9-10M a year for FB and 8M for basketball. That’s two stud starters for B ball and a lot of depth in FB.
That was early on and he at least guaranteed funds early. That’s still 4M dollars a year for one sponsor. Get a main one or a couple small ones for arm patches.
Let's go get that Toyota sponsorship
Do you think we compare to ND and OSU? We are more MSU, IMO.
I agree we aren’t ND or OSU but there’s a lot of space between $4m and $17m
If Notre Dame is doing it….we are well and truly f*cked.
Will be interesting to see if these patch deals are team specific or package deals.
Does JP Morgan have to sponsor every other program in the AD per title IX, fairness, equality, DEI, rainbows, butterflies etc?
Or will sponsors be able to pick and choose?
UK Bball can command same big boy sponsorships and probably a little more. Most likely one is already in the works.
Giant national brands like OSU, ND, UK are actually pretty limited supply so there is clearly an arms race happening now.
It’s not so much about winning history tradition but TV. JP Morgan marketing team couldn’t give a **** about all that. It’s about the audience. OSU will be on a lot of time games. UK bball gets a lot of prime time games.

Why am I not surprised Tyson and Arkansas and Wisconsin and Culvers (with their cheese curds).
