I’m curious about the ACC schools who have signed deals to place corporate logos on their football fields and basketball courts. Duke just announced a deal to place the Edward Jones logo on the court at Cameron Indoor Stadium. There’s been no announcement about the football field but I expect that’s coming. There’s been no word about the revenue for Duke and probably there won’t any news since Duke is private.

What is your favorite school doing?

Also, is there a pending deal at the conference level to put logos on uniforms? Are individual schools making such deals?

Louisville has reached an agreement with L&N to put their logo on football & volleyball jerseys. L&N has their name on the volleyball arena, football stadium & field. Details of the agreement haven’t been made public as of yet.

No, Duke already has a deal with DudeWipes. Seriously.

This arrangement is for football. Individual sports make independent deals at Florida State, at least for now.

A multi-year sponsorship (makes) Progressive the presenting sponsor of the Florida State–Miami rivalry.



Dating back to 1951, the Florida State–Miami rivalry has become one of the most anticipated matchups in college football.
....
Beginning with the 2026 season, Progressive (Insurance) will serve as the presenting sponsor of the Florida State–Miami rivalry, with the relationship spanning both schools and their respective home football seasons.

As part of the sponsorship, Progressive field logos will be prominently displayed on the playing surface at every Florida State home football game throughout the season and at every Miami home football game throughout the season. The season-long field presence will provide Progressive with consistent, high-impact visibility across two nationally recognized college football programs.
....
The partnership was facilitated by Legends Global in collaboration with Florida State Athletics and the Miami Hurricanes' athletics partnership team.

I've generally liked how Heird has operated to "calm the waters" since previous era...but if he took another discount with this latest chance to bring in max revenue, after the UGA cancellation "left money on the table" while releasing a "we're broke report"...I'm going to be moving from head scratching to head to walling....

Its curious that the deals numbers weren't revealed like other schools have previously released.

I wonder what the return on investment is on these jersey patches

Congratulations. Progressive has been busy.

SOLE PROPRIETOR

At Florida State Progressive has a logo deal for football field display. Reliaquest has a logo deal for men’s basketball jerseys.

Now Kin Insurance has a four-year logo deal for football jerseys plus athletic wear in “women’s basketball; men’s and women’s cross country; women’s soccer (reigning national champs); women’s volleyball; men’s and women’s swimming and diving; men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field; baseball; beach volleyball; women’s lacrosse; softball; men’s and women’s golf; and men’s and women’s tennis.”

Apparently the sight of athletes twisting ankles helps to sell insurance.

ND has a SoFi patch on their uniforms, but so far no field logos and no advertisements inside Notre Dame Stadium.

Yeah, I don’t like how the details aren’t being released.

Crypto getting involved in college sports is not a happy development.

I hope schools will be able to improve their sponsorship options in time.

GT has Hyundai for the football field and Veritiv on the jersey patch.

Feels like we're heading to CFL where there are two sponsors on the jersey and 6 digitally imposed sponsors on the field. Or maybe Major League 2 when Roger Dorn can't make payroll so he covers every square inch of the baseball stadium in Yellow Pages type ads. Hey for anybody needing a good proctologist, pay close attention to any doubles into the gap.
