The advent of NIL in college athletics has led to some pretty bizarre sights in recent years.<\/p>\n

From quarterbacks making more money than their offensive coordinators to backup defensive linemen driving around in Lamborghinis, it’s safe to say this ain’t your granddaddy’s college football<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen, but another aspect of the NIL era<\/a> that has taken some getting used to is on-field sponsorships.<\/p>\n

JAY BILAS RAVES ABOUT THE IMPACT OF NIL ON COLLEGE BASKETBALL: ‘I DON’T THINK IT’S EVER BEEN BETTER’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, much like when the Red Sox started to let companies advertise on the Green Monster, several Power 4 football teams are starting to turn to big-time companies for NIL revenue in exchange for allowing them to emblazon their logos on the 25-yard lines of their home field.<\/p>\n

It’s something a lot of traditionalists have held their nose about while acknowledging that the added revenue is a positive when it comes to building a championship roster.<\/p>\n

Many of the companies make sense too, given their geographic location or relationship with the university, but one Fortune 500 company took their assignment a little too literally when it came to picking a football program to partner with.<\/p>\n

Believe me, I had to look at it multiple times and check the X handle at least twice to make sure this wasn’t a parody account, but that is the real-life Georgia football account announcing a sponsorship deal with none other than Progressive Insurance.<\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, the reason this is so funny is that the University of Georgia \u2014 more specifically, the Georgia Bulldogs’ football team \u2014 has a bit of a checkered recent history with regard to automotive incidents.<\/p>\n

TED CRUZ URGES SENATE TO STAY IN WASHINGTON UNTIL PROTECT COLLEGE SPORTS ACT PASSES THIS WEEK<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Since January 2023, shortly after capturing their second straight national championship, the Georgia Bulldogs<\/a> have had over 30 players arrested, the majority of which have been for vehicular incidents such as reckless driving.<\/p>\n

Even players who are no longer playing for the university and have gone onto the NFL, such as Philadelphia Eagles edge rusher Nolan Smith<\/a>, have had run-ins with the law thanks to their proclivity for “aggressive driving.”<\/p>\n

Maybe this is a smart business move by Progressive and they are just double-dipping by advertising both to the fans in the stadium and the players who take the very field their logo is plastered all over.<\/p>\n

Who’s to say? Regardless, it is hilarious how on-the-nose this is from UGA and Progressive.<\/p>\n

I can’t wait for the day when Rutgers<\/a> puts a big “Sopranos” logo on the 25-yard line at SHI Stadium.<\/p>\n

Now THAT would almost make this whole thing worth it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
