The PA announcer already says, a J & J Exterminating first down and a Lafayette Roofing three and out. I think that is bush league. I mean, come on, does the University really need the money that bad?
Every week somebody else should have the right to outbid the winner from the week before. Then the winner from the week before should be allowed to stay in the position if they are willing to match. Let’s make some revenue.
C'mom man. These business owners are successful alumni of the university. Let me restate that, "they are smart, successful alumni of the university" and Louisiana marketed the first down, 3 and out and other in game aspects and these owners put up the cash and ran with it. This is genius on both sides. Folks like you and me at the game are a captured audience and are forced to listen. Do I like it? Not so much, but it does not bother me if I know it helps when I know it puts food on the table, which puts a better product on the field.
I know one of these owners and he is a very "casual" football fan, as some talk about on this board. He pays money to Louisiana to market his product where he sees a ROI.
I think Billy Napier makes a couple million a year. Thats a LOT of cash and it has to come from somewhere.
Remember, football is all about the money (weather we like it or not).
Watch a game on the ESPN (or FOX, CBS, ABC, NBC.....), commercials last forever now between the live play on the field. They are making money. Louisiana is just following their lead.
Oh yea, remember, it's all about the money! I'm done.
