Wouldn't know and don't care. That has nothing to do with someone questioning whether Troy has been successful enough to be known on the college football stage.

Hater of the year.

If it was a sunny day and I said the sky is blue, I'm sure BigChilla and 7 would take a shot at me just like these insane posts. In a totally different thread, I shared a story about UNI seeking a sponsor for the UNI-Dome and I guessed they would find a sponsor before NIU would get a naming rights deal for the Convo.
Somehow both 7 and BigChilla make it sound like I'm some big UNI fan and for whatever reason use the jersey patch sponsorship their latest reason to be rude.
Aside from being apples and oranges, I'm hopeful -- but have my doubts -- that STF will ever get a naming rights deal for the Convo.
Not once have I questioned the Huskies getting a jersey patch sponsorship. Despite having been associated with NIU, a fan, and a financial supporter of Huskie athletics since 1980, I'll always continue wanting success on and off the field, in the classroom, and by any measure for Northern Illinois. BigChilla can continue his worn-out diatribe on newspapers being dead and 7 or epasnoopy can pile on but I don't care. I've covered more NIU athletic success in men's and women's sports than any of those people even know. I'll continue wearing the Cardinal and Black with pride but I'll never apologize for occasionally offering a different point of view.

I ain’t reading all that

Anybody know what the contract terms/spend was from AAA? Would love to compare to other MWC/G5/P4 contracts. Grateful we're in the "haves" on this one and not wasting a patch location this season.

I think getting the first patch is the biggest challenge. Once we start winning have better national recognition, sponsors will be more willing to want us as a partner.

yeah no not that triple A, sorry

AAA Roofing contractors, kinda underwhelming.

But our new QB, Charles Dickens, will lead us to many victories and more lucrative sponsors.

I’m struggling to understand what could be considered “underwhelming” about a company stepping up and sponsoring NIU Athletics with their hard-earned money. Their investment directly benefits our student-athletes and our athletic department, and they are choosing to partner with us and support our mission.

From a relationship standpoint, I honestly can’t imagine anything worse for one of our partners to read than language suggesting that their financial commitment to NIU is somehow underwhelming. These are companies and people who have made a conscious decision to invest in us, and that support deserves to be recognized and appreciated.

We should be extremely careful with how we characterize our partners and their contributions. We should express gratitude and respect for the investment they have made.

Same here. I don’t understand the constant negativity around here. Win games consistently and expect bigger things. We’ve been absolute dog sh** the last few years (especially last) the fact that anyone wants to invest in our program is a miracle.

Well said. I completely agree. I'm thankful for their support and hope this results in great exposure and business for AAA Roofing Contractors. If I still lived in the Chicago and needed their services, I would give them a call. Disclaimer: I don't work there, nor do I have any family or friends that work there. Just appreciative of our sponsors.

The legend is back!!!!

I'm glad we're partnering with someone.

They are a regional business and im glad they chose NIU to partner with. People need to temper expectations about what NIU is able to achieve. We're not Ohio State partnering with Chase for 21M annually.

It's a new revenue stream that can evolve.
