Money has ruined professional sports in more than
one way. It is now trickling down to college football venues. Money is coming
toward college football from many directions...ESPN who wants to be
"kingmakers", networks, cards, autographs, pictures...you name it and the
colleges will sell it to you for the right bucks.
College football has now bought into selling
its tradition to the highest bidder for cash..stadium naming rights. The
University of California is one of the latest sellouts joining Akron, Arkansas
State, Central Florida,Louisville, Minnesota, North Texas, Rutgers, Syracuse,
Texas Tech, Wake Forest and Western Kentucky. We might as well be prepared for
the gunrunners to take aim at the SEC. It has gobbled up every buck tossed its
way so far.
I just hope Auburn doesn't sellout to big
corporations. Naming the playing field Dye Field was bad enough. It will just
be too much for the Auburn family to refer to Jordan-Hare Stadium as Snapple
Stadium or Burger King Field, Charmin Bowl...or worse!!!
