Are there any schools left that haven’t sold out to corporations?

How long before everybody's stadium has a corporate name on it? Probably not long. Everybody is hungry for money and will do almost anything to get more of it.

Nail on head here.

USC has just added the name of United Airlines to the Memorial Coliseum. Officially, it's now called...

The United Airlines Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles (used to be, "Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum").

What do you mean selling out? Plenty of corps advertise at State. Pearl River and Renesant are big in that respect.

Sonoco Field at Williams Brice Stadium. You know something like that is coming.

My biggest fear is us becoming Yellawood Stadium.

College football is a business. It's no different than the NFL. The people that run the athletic departments primary goal is to increase revenue.

Delta Air Lines and Coca-Cola are probably the two biggest corporate sponsors of the Georgia Bulldogs in Sanford Stadium...hmmm..."Delta Air Lines-Dooley Field @Sanford Stadium"...naw, that won't work.

"Dooley Field @Sanford Stadium by Delta Air Lines"....great scott, how'd they get all that in on a sign.

UGA ought to leave it alone.

The fact that they just spent a billion dollars buying a hotel and casino in Pennsylvania I see either Auburn or Alabama’s stadiums being called Wind Creek sometime in the future. As TV revenue continues to diminish and people are staying at home more these days athletic departments will do anything to keep money coming, in order to keep those salaries going.

Isn't the official name "United Airlines Field at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum"?

The over the top commercialization of the game day experience at Alabama and other SEC schools has certainly given me a greater appreciation for watching games at my little local high school.

That doesn't bother me. Allstate donates to the schools scholarship fund for every made FG.
