We have in-stadium ads. On the scoreboard, on the ribbon boards, on the jumbotron.

I guess we are getting to the point where we are going to have get those pyramid sideline ad boards like the WAC, sell ads on the carpet the players run down The Hill on, on the base of Howard's Rock, on the tower at Tillman Hall, get a floating billboard to put in Lake Hartwell, and see if SCDOT will allow us to sell ad space on the Tiger Paws painted on the highways leading into town if we stay in the ACC and want to financially be able to compete.

The ACC is also home to many of the NASCAR tracks. We can have every uniform covered in logos, too. Just trying to think outside the box...

No, not anymore.

NASCAR is pretty much dead in the water because it has given up it's roots by not racing at all at places like Rockingham and North Wilkesboro, and only having one race at places like Darlington and Martinsville.....while soul-less tracks like Homestead, Las Vegas, Fontana, Kansas, Texas, and Chicago have races....and some have two.


Although the idea of a Summer's Eve patch on a EweNC football uniform is kind of fitting.

I agree with this Catdaddy. NASCAR made the exact same mistake Hockey did by trying to expand out of its general fan base areas. Don't let history repeat itself, if you know what I mean.

FYI but each Big 10 university is estimated to receive ~ $24.5 million from the conference this past year.
