You can't just say that and not post the video.

 

That reception for Yormark was far too kind but of course there were more people on the field at Jerryworld than there were in that building

You mean the Allstate 12?

If Yormark pulls this off you can expect to see the Coca-Cola/State Farm/Waffle House Southeastern Conference or some damn thing soon enough.

I'm going to massively disagree with you on this. The SEC doesn't need naming rights. It is THE name of college football.

But, let's say the numbers being thrown around are correct - Yormark gets $30MM per year to rebrand the Big 12, "the Allstate Conference" (their name/brand sucks anyway, especially without UT and OU). How much is the SEC gonna be worth?

You're right - it's possible the SEC sees itself as "the brand" in collegiate athletics, but I'd be surprised if Sankey didn't shop it around. Why leave money on the table?

I imagine Sankey knows there's a risk to cheapening your brand long term for bundles up front. There has to be a buffer eventually for college football against just allowing the whole thing to be lined up in front of a corporate firing squad. There's also big business to lose by becoming The Cheez It/Manscape/Saudi Wahhabist Bonesaw Conference.

Me, "Does your conference have insurance?"

Brett Rosenberg, "Yeah, but it was through a friend.  At AllState." 

Me, "Who are my clients?  Why you wanna sue Texas?"

Sol Yormark, "Sue you.  Sue everybody!"

It Just Means the Price is Higher
