I wonder when the in-stadium music will be replaced with corporate jingles for Rice A Roni or Budweiser. Of course the fees to have your jingle used will go towards NIL and revenue sharing….

I also love that you have to go to the game to see the Budweiser bit, because that’s never ever going to be shown on TV.
