Apparently the RPCA folks need to see them.

That would have been numero uno on my to do list. It's still easily doable. They just probably screwed themselves out of 25 grand, or more along the way. That would have been a huge fund raising event for recruiting, a stadium drive, or some other such need that I don't have any idea of because I'm not worthy to hobnob with the "insiders".
Maybe some bright boy who seems to have everyone surrounding the university on speed dial could suggest such a marketing scheme designed to raise copious amounts of badly needed funds without all of the blood bags feeling so much like blood bags. You know, make giving a little bit of fun & not so much like going to an audit.

So no one else like people who are expected to pony up for the grand prize are worthy to share in the fight for excellence? Please don't tell me you learned that business model at UL.

No outside banner in sunlight lasts very long.
No outside banner looks prestige after much more than a couple years.
A car wrap on a hard substrate might last up to 7 years.
3M vinyl letters on a hard painted surface can last up to 20 years.
UV rays and wind flex are enemies of any banner. Hanging the banner under an awning, concourse or covered walkway could double its lifespan.

Absolutely!
But why stop there? There are 13 year olds that form lifelong opinions based on positive pub they were exposed to at that age.
There's short-term thinking plus long-term thinking, and they need not be on opposite sides of the fence.

True, but so does every fan that bothered to show up last season, every student, and the opposing team needs to be reminded of it too. Of course, with the current "blind man with a cup" business model, no sponsor logo, no get into CF. Let's call it the Popeyes 2021 SBC Championship banner/flag...

The championships are painted on the concourse. You can see them when you're walking up from your seats. Not sure if last years championship has been added because it's not something I've looked for. I'm sure a prominent place to display championships is part of the plan in the stadium upgrade.

Dah? Where on What concourse? Dude, you hang banners & plaques where people can see them. Since I haven't seen anything which you describe, I'm gonna go out on a limb & guess the majority of the people who have been tot he stadium haven't seen them either. But thanks for your efforts GOR ( ghost of Ray)

Thanks for the new name. If you look up while walking up the steps to the concourse, you would see what I’m talking about. I find it comical that when people point out facts, you try to start an argument. May be time for you to grow up and work on your reading comprehension.
