He smashed it out of the park.  Especially the part about fan acceptance of sponsorship and advertising when they know it goes directly to their favorite team and makes their team more competitive.

And K-State does have a national brand.  Definitely below UT, OU, WVU, and KU.  But we aren't too far below them.

I think I'll go have a Rev Honey now.
yeah, the trashing of rival teams premier sponsors will be fun

Guys, your TV's have a Wifi module. It'll connect to your router.  You'll navigate to the game using whatever interface exists (controller, smart phone, etc).  And there will still be commercial breaks.  It will be almost exactly the same.  The only difference is from where the TV is getting its signal.

Every year universities are driving themselves farther down the road to becoming pro sports franchises.  There will be a point where the Big XII or the SEC decide "Screw it, we're going to pay players."

And everyone will have to follow.

You're right. 

But I do think they will be forced into it.  That force may come from the schools like Boise that have been shut out or it may come from the threat of minor league football.  There just won't be the huge barrier of getting access to distribution channels that stopped it in the past.

Someone photoshop Sprint to the front of our jerseys

Might as well replace the Powercat on the helmet with an image of a Traeger Grill.  And the names on the back of the jerseys could be flanked by cans of Rev Honey!!

Damn, wish I had Photoshop.

Looks really weird but somehow still sexy. Also please post these in the FYBS thread for posterity. (Because really, that's where they should be, I guess.)

Can someone summarize UNLV guy in like 5 succint sentences?

CFB is headed to more and more in-house media deals where teams cut out the middleman distribution and have on screen/field/uni sponsorship like the EPL and fans will accept this due to the direct financial benefit their teams will receive.

I didn't even try. if you can't sum up what you are going to say more efficiently than that I don't want to know what you are going to say anyway.

It was really really good, and well-written. Honestly couldn't do a good job summarizing.

bullshit, I just jumped into the middle of it to pick out a random sequence for shortening and picked this one:

3. Now this is really getting into the weeds, but lets just look at this. What is the point of conferences? Tradition? Scheduling? Just the way it is?

here's how I would make that part more efficient:

Want proof that dax is mildly autistic? He'll pore over the financials of every school within 300 miles but can't be bothered to read a few paragraphs on media speculation. SD is just lazy, but I can relate to that.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.
