Heck even we could refer it to as Folsom Field even if there's a new name on it just like with the Broncos stadium's Mile High name.
It's past due for a naming rights deal at Folsom Field.

I know how much the program could benefit from giving naming rights, but I'd prefer to give the stadium name rights away while keeping the field "Folsom Field"
E.g. Folsom Field at Casa Bonita stadium.
It's just so nostalgic for me I think I'd be sad if the official name of Folsom was removed.

I don't think that's a naming rights deal, then. It's a exclusive marketing deal
Vols to preserve Neyland name in deal with Pilot
Tennessee has agreed to a deal with Pilot that will give the Knoxville-based company signage throughout the stadium, including on the playing surface, while preserving the Neyland Stadium name.www.espn.com
Vols get a stadium naming rights deal without changing the name of the stadium. Something for CU to check into.
Best as I can tell, all but one G5 school that hit 6 wins made it to a bowl game last year. What are they going to do? Walk away from the bowl money for a NIT 2nd tier playoff?
Weird.
Most teams lose money going to non premier bowl games, iirc. I don’t think it’d be hard to organize some kind of G5 playoff that generates the same or more revenue than ****ty bowl games
Yep. You have travel costs and must buy your ticket allocation whether or not you can sell them. It's part of the conference media deal, though, and generally structured with the conference so that making a bowl doesn't make you lose money.
Not sure exactly how it would work but the existing bowl system was worked into the CFP, so I could see a scenario where some of the smaller bowls are worked into a G5 playoff.
ESPN continues to have financial difficulties. Sam Ponder & RG3 fired to reduce expenses.
I'm all for it, more meaningful football to watch at the end of the year instead of pointless bowls.
What makes this more meaningful than a bowl games?
Because of the disparity that continues to grow between P5 and G5, in my opinion this will become as meaningful to these players as the CFP is to P5 or the FCS playoffs are to those teams. A chance to be the champion is much more enticing to both players and fans than some random bowl.
This is pretty good and there is some good CU representation in the video.
I find the FCS playoffs more interesting than a G5 vs G5 bowl game. Tournament hits different to me than an exhibition game.
In this case I don't think it has anything to do with the memory of Fred Folsom.
I do think it has a lot to do with the brand and image of the University of Colorado, it's football program, and the way it is seen nationally.
Most college stadiums have or have had a name honoring somebody or a group of somebodies but outside of that university community nobody knows or cares.
CU though has spent decades building the identity around Folsom field. It is the stadium with the stone facade, with the amazing views of the mountains including the flatirons, the place where Ralphie runs. It is one of the more identifiable stadiums in the country, even more than many which are much larger and have seen much more recent success.
Doesn't mean that for the right price they couldn't do like the Broncos do (Folsom Field at Celestial Seasonings Stadium) but anything that detracts from the established identity they had better be getting well compensated for.
Ideally it would involve a high tech company (software, aerospace, bioscience, clean energy) and include some form of connection that enhances the academic/research efforts of the school in that area. The other would be to involve a company that is heavily identified with outdoor recreation or similar that would again continue to enhance the appeal of the university to potential students, donors, or research partners.
Yikes on Malachi Nelson. Granted, he was a transfer for Boise but a crazy miss by Riley and USC and maybe a reason why P4 programs paying premium money for a proven transfer is better than putting resources and time into blue chip HS QBs
I was told it’s actually a positive on LRs evaluations.

Had some high hopes for him coming out. Now we're talking about when a 5* USC commit is flipping to us.
Yeah bro, I know the rules. Still doesn’t explain why Troy is so much larger than Bama. UTSA, USU, and list goes on.
