NCAA approves uniform patches, opening up new revenue streams

The NCAA unearthed another revenue stream Friday when Division I leaders approved patches for uniforms in a move that could generate millions to fund athletic departments.

www.espn.com

"Beginning Aug. 1, Division I teams can place up to two patches of no more than 4 square inches on uniforms for regular-season games. Those are in addition to the logos already allowed for the uniform manufacturers.

Rules committees for the postseason will decide how to handle March Madness, the College World Series and other playoff tournaments, with attention being paid to making sure individual schools aren't advertising for companies that compete with NCAA sponsors.

The College Football Playoff has also been looking into how to allow patches for that sport's postseason."

"It's the latest move for schools to help bankroll the $20.5 million in revenue they're allowed to share with players under new rules that went into play this school year. It comes about 18 months after the NCAA approved allowing schools to place logos on their football fields."

Is this just limited to traditional companies or could we try to reach out to the Saudis for example given their deals with WWE and F1?

Somehow all this commercialization just cheapens the sport. I know, the sport has changed and schools have to do these things to stay competitive, but I don't have to like it.

I had the same feeling many years ago when the European pro soccer uniforms looked more like walking billboards than team shirts.

I want to win a championship or get back to a Final 4 someday. You don’t think we would realistically need a few nba caliber players to make that happen?

A more realistic sponsor might actually be The Sphere. They are getting into the market and did do a jersey patch with the Knicks. Granted Dolan owns both. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smar...e-coming-to-the-washington-dc-area-180988048/. Thoughts on The Sphere as a potential jersey patch?

as a minimum we compete - in a market sense - with Mayland and Georgetown
Sphere, if it comes, will be in Prince George's County
too far away - in multiple dimensions

need to continue to win and increase attendance - STH and walkup
