Didn’t pull this off
He tried, failed, hired Learfield to do the job.
What do we pay him to do exactly?

$5.4 million isn't very much.

"Largest deal of its kind in college football". What am I missing?
Hate HY all you want, I do, but this is a good deal. Will some other schools come out, in the near future, with a bigger stadium naming rights deal? Maybe, hell probably. Doesn't change the fact that, for once, we were ahead of the curve on something because these type deals are going to become commonplace in the age of legal pay-for-play. Give the credit to whoever you want, HY, Learfield, the pope but at the end of the day this is a good deal.

Both statements seem true. How many schools have sold the naming rights I wonder?

At least 58 college football teams have sold naming rights for their stadiums. This trend has been increasing, with notable deals occurring in recent years.

Recent Trends in Naming Rights
The increase in naming rights deals indicates a shift in how college athletic departments are seeking revenue.
These agreements often involve significant financial commitments from sponsors, which can provide essential funding for athletic programs.
Notable Examples
Indiana University: Recently secured a 20-year, $50 million naming rights deal for Memorial Stadium, renaming it Merchants Bank Field at Memorial Stadium.
University of Arkansas: Announced a $70 million deal over 13 years for Razorback Stadium, marking it as the largest naming rights deal in college football.
ETA: by my Arkansas math, that makes our agreement worth almost double Indiana's on an annual basis. Not too shabby IMO.
Also, just for shites and giggles, this is the only other SEC school with such an agreement so far...
Kentucky’s deal with Kroger (announced in 2017) renamed Commonwealth Stadium to Kroger Field under a 12-year naming-rights agreement starting immediately, worth about $1.85 million per year (payments go through Kentucky’s multimedia rights partner, JMI Sports).

I have no clue on that. I doubt we ever will.

May have been stated but there are only estimated 44 of 138 FBS teams with naming rights associated with their stadiums. And I’m not aware of a lot of big time programs that have sacrificed their tradition and slapped businesses in their backyard in the face like this(at least by appearances) for an unknown credit union. 44/138 = approx. 31.9%. Not aware of any school besides Indiana(who are just now a big name because they made a smart coaching hire and then went all in way beyond naming rights money and bought a roster) that’s very significant on the list that’s given up their virginity. Sometimes I math a bit - not going to look up who said that because I misquoted DVH’s old arse age. This program still needs an enema. Until Yuracek is gone, it won’t get better.
