@Gerry Hamilton

 

From the Cotton Holdings press release but it doesn’t say how much Cotton Holdings is contributing. Seems like that would be the biggest factor otherwise seems a bit overblown. 

“As the title sponsor, Cotton Holdings will receive rights to the Lone Star Showdown and associated intellectual property from both Texas A&M and the University of Texas. The sponsorship package includes season-long fan engagement opportunities, exposure through TV and radio broadcasts, in-venue signage, and featured storytelling on social media. Additionally, both universities will benefit from annual contributions to their respective NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) activation funds, courtesy of Cotton Holdings.”

Agreed. This is kind of meh for me unless the sponsorship is significant. We’re already winning Directors Cups. We’ll do the same in state even if meat judging gets included.

Why did this seem like ATM riding the coattails of UT in this CFB season…as if ATM was a little brother trying to gain attention because big brother UT had all the attention???

Maybe cotton holding should  not have had ATM alum hosting this event—should have been neutral individual given the intense rivalry.

Was this the joint announcement we were all waiting for? I was really expecting a battle royale between CDC and Trevo. Though not sure I like CDC’s chance in a physical battle, maybe a quiz game and spelling bee to round out the contest?

An Aggie sponsor that does NIL deals with Aggie...seems like a conflict of interest for this partnership. I don't agree with them as the choice. Should have went with a more national corporate brand.

Cotton Holdings as the game sponsor would be peculiar, considering the cotton bowl as the location for TX/OU. 

Cotton Holdings doesn't appear to have anything to do with the game or the Cotton Bowl.

That’s why I thought it was a strange sponsorship. Cotton as a brand name is already part of the Texas product landscape.

This whole thing was stupid.   That Aggie chick had zero stage charisma.  Stupid thumbs up in the pics.  What a waste of time.
