I read where the big12 jumped the gun and sold out to monster drink for the entire conference to wear patches, paint slogans on the fields and courts for 20 million a year, to be divided by all 16 teams.

That's only a bit over 1 million a year to each team.

Alabama would get at least 20-25 million or more per year for just a uniform patch if they decide to go that way.

I think tOSU got 20 - 25 million a year from Chase.

A Mercedes patch should’ve been a done deal….however…

Apparently our deal with Learfield is a sticking point at the moment that might limit our options. Our contract with them is different than what Ohio State has.

Why does it seem that our athletics department always makes a bold new deal that turns out to be the shittiest decision in retrospect.

If we sell out for any less than 20 million a year it will suk

The rules allow you to have two patches for advertisement.

I think all the teams I've seen do a deal, no team has sold the 2nd patch.

- The big12 will probably have a team that sells it's 2nd now that they see what a shitty deal the conference made.
