None of that matters...the new SEC Network will pay almost 30 million per year from the new tv contract

There is no solution.. As corporate dollars become tighter , naming opportunities for HBCU'S will continue to be non existent. HBCU'S can have a little money carved out for them but no real money will be thrown at HBCU'S because the product is viewed as inferior

Those aren't all of the reasons... Just a few of the many...

Probably less than 1 hbcu has a legit naming rights deal. ( That doesnt mean puttin my name on the stadium because i worked there for 30 years). And that's for a couple of reasons

1. HBCU'S don't invest in  competent organizations that sell sports sponsorships (IMG, ISP, ect) because they don't understand the concept. It's a no brainer to hire a company to handle my media rights and sell my inventory and expand my brand. But for some reason our schools don't/won't do it.

2. HBCU'S have just recently begun hiring marketing professionals to work in the department. For the last 30 years our schools have thought that marketing and sports information was supposed to be done by the same person. 

3. The HBCU athletic product is not VIEWED to be worth a multi year multi million dollar investment for most companies. PERIOD.

Division I HBCU conferences are not and will never be attractive to PWCs !! The donors won't accept it and they won't support it. They won't travel and they won't invest. !!  PERIOD

T-Rob is building a championship squad just like he did when he was there before... YES...... T-ROB built those championship teams with Amber and BTJ and Amhad, and Tweet and Lamona and so forth and so on......Even though Coach Bibbs was the head Coach and got all the credit.. They never won another one after he left for VCU.. Happy to see T-Rob building it back up. 

Exactly... Stop feeling sorry for these grown a-- men who make decisions to squander their money. AI was a jackass most of his career and its biting him now. Bottom line

You'd be amazed at what you can give out when you have money to do it !!!  You have choices !!!

Because his brand is already established in racing. He doesn't need his name on a track to make him feel good. You gotta remember that whatever you think makes business sense from an HBCU perspective, makes absolutely no sense when dealing with the rest of the world!

I assure you that RC has no interest in investing in wssu athletics. !! 

The point I was trying to make was that whomever has their name on the stadium we can rest assured that they didn't donate any money if its at an HBCU stadium !!

You are certainly at liberty to do so.. Doesnt hurt my feelings one bit.  I wll still say that I dont see Childress having ANY interest in supporting WSSU because he will se NO benefit from a business stand point.  It wont enhance his brand one bit... I guess time will tell.  Ya'll will probably end up naming it Alumni Stadium or Big House Gaines Stadium or some other employee thats rendered service to the University over the last century... Who knows...

I dont think they do ... I KNOW they do.. They care about associating with a University and fan base that they can reap some benefit from and expose their business to and create new business. They care about who they associate with and how it enhances their brand.  THIS I know for a fact.  For Childress, associating with WSSU does nothing for his brand or his product... That my friend is also a fact.  UNLESS WSSU has a motorsports racing program.. If they do then disregard everything I just said...

He is definitely a good prospect for them.  Someone should be having that conversation with him or his people.  I would bet that Childress has no interest in supporting WSSU.. He is only interested in the track. 

Please remember the thinking at PWC's is not like HBCU's .. PWC's dont just slap somebodys name on a building or any of their inventory unless some significant money has changed hands.  HBCU's will put somebody's name on a building becuase they worked there for 30 or 40 years..Just keep in mind the difference in mentalities.. !! The difference in the haves and have nots of college athletics is the value that the haves put on their product...
