JTS and I were talking about this today. NFL teams are in urban centers for a reason. Being in an urban center used to be a drawback because of NFL competition, but with NIL that could flip flop. The lure for the corp is that their local college team in their backyard is a feature, and the kind of money that would make a NIL pot huge is relatively small in comparison to the kind of money corps throw at marketing. So you sell corporations jersey space like NASCAR in return for NIL contributions.

Brainstorm for GT targets:

Shaw Industries
Coca Cola
Waffle House
NCR
Bell South
Home Depot
Delta
UPS
Georgia Pacific
Equifax
Infosys

Thoughts?

It would seem dirty if the school was doing it, but if the money all goes to the players then it wouldn't seem dirty at all, at least to me.
 
Inspired by the movie Idiocracy for sure.

What next, calling the stadium Bobby Dodd Stadium @ Historic Grant Pitch?
 
NIL will most likely be merged into the schools and the AA will pay them directly within a few years.

Wouldn't actually change the concept IMO.

Ooo, could we get Department of Defense on the jerseys via GTRI?
 
Feel like one of the backup QBs was a Braves ambassador or something the first year of NIL. No clue if it paid squat.

Edit: It was Yates. Article almost makes it sound like a social media internship tho.

Braves Sign NIL Deal With Georgia Tech QB, UGA Gymnast

The Braves are the first MLB team to officially partner with college athletes after signing an NIL deal with Georgia gymnast Rachel Baumann and Georgia Tech QB Jordan Yates.

I don't think proximity really matters. Right now, if an Atlanta company wants to use a CFB player for a promotion, they can just drive a couple hours to the cesspool or Clemson. It's the fan base that drives NIL value.

Why does it need to be local for such national brands? What's stopping Delta from renting ad space on Oklahoma jerseys?
