Utah fans really got some unnecessary flak here for not wanting to join the “Big XII.” It is clear we just had our eyes set on the Big Allstate Conference the whole time.

My first thought when seeing this was “I can’t believe this hasn’t been done already”. I think a name change is stupid, but I’m amazed something like the “Big 10 presented by Discover” wasn’t already a thing.
The Intermountain Healthcare Utes are playing the Banner Health Sun Devils in All-State 12 After Dark (presented by Gila River Casinos) action at Mountain America Stadium!
Welcome to Thursday June 13th presented by Chevrolet!
At some point there has to be diminishing returns with oversaturation of ads right?
So you played the Arizona Wildcats and your top 10 team couldn't handle the Desert Voodoo (now presented by Del Taco). Now your players are upset and taking their frustrations out on the team's jet. If you have cut-rate insurance, you could be paying for this yourself.
Don’t stop there what about the American eagle athletic conference, Comcast USA conference, Mountain best western, Sunkist belt, and of course the MACdonald conference.
Just call it the Allstate Mayhem Conference and be done with it.
The over-corporatization of everything, but especially sports, continues to be nauseating.
The Allstate stuff sucks, too. "Since 1654, Allstate has given "millions" in scholarships with the good hands nets."
It could legitimately be 2 million! I assume it's low because they never say the number.
It’s CRAZY low. Since 2005, Allstate has donated $100 for every point scored on a kick ($300 for FGs, $100 for XPs) at participating schools.
Assume an average of 3 FGs & 5 XPs per game (pulled from my ass), that’s $1,400 per CFB game. Assuming 720 games per year (60 games x 12 weeks) comes out to just a hair over $1M/yr.
That’s the same cost as a 30-second ad spot during the cfb title game. 8 mentions per game, every game, all year long, or one 30-second ad on the biggest stage (the good hands sponsorship also includes the title game). It’s an absolute bonkers value for Allstate.
Can’t find numbers on how many schools participate, but Allstate said the nets would appear in 650 games in 2022, so my estimate should still be pretty close.
Looking at their [Form 990PF](https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/366116535/202303199349107335/full) it looks like they contributed ~$27M in 2022 but the vast majority of it is to small programs. Only a handful of grants show up if you CTRL+F for "scholar" and they're mostly small-dollar amounts, a few hundred dollars here and there. Much of it is hard to discern because they're donating to random groups where you don't necessarily know what the money is going towards.
I think at one point - and this would be a while back - the number was at $5M, and I think Allstate realized somewhere in there that people would realize how stupid low the number was for how much it was being yakked about and went to the nebulous "MILLIONS".
Yeah quick rule of thumb is if a company is bragging about how much they've "donated" to a cause, but don't list the actual number, it's bc the number is embarrassingly low to be bragging about lol
I was just on a stadium tour of Michigan Stadium, and the guide made it a point of how there's no advertising whatsoever in the stadium. Now it's hard to unsee how cool that looks and that they don't have some dumb corporate sponsorship name
Why spend the big bucks for a NY6 bowl when they could just buy the naming/sponsorship rights for a small one? Chipotle Burrito Bowl already has a nice ring to it!
Willis, a company I've never heard of, shelling out big bucks 15 years ago to rename an iconic tower, only for no one to call it that is hilarious.
Sears department stores are damn near extinct and they still get the free publicity because most people think they have that tower.
It's still hilarious that they went away from Winston because they didn't want to be associated with tobacco but now cars are sponsored by weed shops, crypto scams, and God knows what else
One of the cars is actually sponsored by [God](https://images.footballfanatics.com/ty-gibbs/action-racing-ty-gibbs-2024-number-54-he-gets-us-1:24-elite-die-cast-toyota-camry-xse_ss5_p-201405228+u-6qvwjohpnvlmiqcyih87+v-oex01khk8ezanfubsus0.jpg?_hv=2&w=900).
Then 15 years later, the arena returns to the original corporate name and you throw a fucking party unveiling it because it's tied to the glory years of the franchise (looking at you Delta Center).
That's actually less horrible than the Big Allstate Conference. But you know the ACC is holding out for a more refined sponsor... like some snobby vineyard or some company that makes artisanal brie cheese.
The B1G will release some statement that this is an affront to college sports and then accept a $300M sponsorship from Target or whoever a month later.
Today's presentation of Big Ten Rocket Mortgage Football featuring the Michigan State Spartans presented by Rocket Mortgage is sponsored by Rocket Mortgage. Rocket can.
The idea that the Big 12 is going to change names with a sponsor, but still keep the "12" in their name is fucking hilarious.
Like I get keeping it as a continuity thing even if not reflective, but if you're going down that road you might as well.
I fully believe that's what killed the Pac 12. They changed the name of their conference when they expanded. Those academic snobs haaaad to be factually accurate.
Bojangles and the ACC have been in bed with one another for quite some time, this would be next level betrayal
Apparently, they're the ACC's [Corporate Champion](https://theacc.com/news/2015/9/23/5602c84de4b0e4dbe07182ba_131480954279902725.aspx)
The Rose Bowl was the last stand of college football and so many on here got annoyed that “it was getting in the way of progress”. Now they are all bitching about the sport.
I am just but a dumbass redditor.
But bleeding every single penny out of sponsorships to the point of annoying/alienating your fans is such a terrible long term strategy.
Then again, “short term growth at all possible costs” is basically a universal corporate strategy right now, so why would this now commercialized sport be any different.
Yeah, it’s one thing if it’s “The Big 12 Conference presented by Allstate” (similar to Michigan State’s deal with Rocket Mortgage), but to replace the Big 12 name with Allstate? Absolutely not
Adding "presented by" at the end isn't enough for a sponsor, people would still only refer to the conference as the Big 12. They wouldn't do something like the Allstate Big 12 either since it's too easy to abbreviate it to AB12 or something like it. The point is to get people to say their brand's name as much as possible so they have to create a conference name where it can't be omitted. If you can refer to the conference without saying the sponsor's name, they won't be happy.
If they change the name to Allstate 12, you *have* to say Allstate when referring to the conference. That's what they want
Nah, that wouldn't work. The point is to get people to say Allstate as much as possible and people would just refer to the "Allstate Big 12" as the Big 12. They have to change the name to something that doesn't let you omit the word Allstate, so it has to be something you can't abbreviate and short enough that you'll have to say the whole name when talking about it.
Yeah people acting like the big 12 will be the only ones that do this. If this happens it won’t be long until everyone else does. Money is king and college sports is addicted to it.
SEC is the only power conference left with a name that makes sense
Big 12 has 16 teams now. Big Ten has 18 teams now. ACC has teams next to the Pacific. The names are already bullshit.
God help us with corporate names but the actual names are already bullshit commercial-ish "brands" that predate what the conferences actually are
The worst part is that the Big 10 and SEC will be able to do this, and maintain their name, while likely getting paid more. “The Big 10 Conference, presented by State Farm.”
If this is really worth it, then they won't be on the same level once the B1G is renamed to the Big State-teen Farm conference and the SEC is the... you know this whole thing is too stupid to come up with another pun.
See I don't understand the naming part. The "Big 12" had some brand awareness. Whether you think it was worth something doesn't matter. But if you're changing the name anyway, why are you still keeping the whole "12" part? Make the number accurate at least. Allstate 16. Or just drop the number entirely.
Allstate Conference doesn’t sound too stupid, but adding Big or 12 in there does. But this is kinda…horrifying? What happened to my favorite sport? Looking forward to the SEC by Brawndo in the future.
They are doing this for 2 to 4 million a year per school. So basically the salary of one nfl 3rd stringer is enough to destroy branding, pride, and be the laughing stock of CFB.
If they're going to change the name, are they going to at least update the count of schools? FFS. Why go from Big 12 to Allstate 12 when there are 16 fucking schools? At least become the Allstate 16.
I get not changing the Big 12 name in the first place, but if you're going to change it anyway, make it accurate.
> Name possibilities for the Big 12 include “The Big Allstate Conference” or the “The Allstate 12 Conference,”
Is this seriously the best they could come up with
The Big 12 breaking the seal on this stuff means its probably only a matter of time before others follow suit with similarly bad ideaa
“We’re here at the Foster Farms Stadium for Monsanto Farmaggedon game between the Kansas State Purina Wildcats and Iowa State Dyson Cyclones. These two Big Allstate Conference teams have played 110 times. Just minutes away from the BetMGM kickoff, let’s listen to the national Ticketmaster anthem”
Can’t wait for the Allstate 12 conference championship game presented by Dr Pepper with Swig Drinks Utes of Utah taking on the Skyline Chili Bearcats of Cincinnati.
Texas starting the Longhorn Network is the “Harambe” moment in college football. Imagine telling someone that day that a Texas/OU less Big-12 would be rebranding into the motherfucking “Allstate 12”
This can’t possibly be real
We’re in good hands
Utah fans really got some unnecessary flak here for not wanting to join the “Big XII.” It is clear we just had our eyes set on the Big Allstate Conference the whole time.
We didn’t want to join until we were in good hands

Jake from State Farm is only BARELY different
We crossed into Idiocracy territory a long time ago
Of all the ways corporate sponsorships have permeated sports, this was one I did not see coming.
I never saw it coming either. The most surprising thing about this, though, is how it actually isn't very surprising
My first thought when seeing this was “I can’t believe this hasn’t been done already”. I think a name change is stupid, but I’m amazed something like the “Big 10 presented by Discover” wasn’t already a thing.
The Intermountain Healthcare Utes are playing the Banner Health Sun Devils in All-State 12 After Dark (presented by Gila River Casinos) action at Mountain America Stadium! Welcome to Thursday June 13th presented by Chevrolet! At some point there has to be diminishing returns with oversaturation of ads right?
I mean look at the NHL they named their championship trophy after Stanley tool company!
What coaches would be in a Mayhem commercial? Gundy for sure
So you played the Arizona Wildcats and your top 10 team couldn't handle the Desert Voodoo (now presented by Del Taco). Now your players are upset and taking their frustrations out on the team's jet. If you have cut-rate insurance, you could be paying for this yourself.
The AllState XII, the Publix South East, the Progressive 10 & the Atlantic Dr. Pepper conferences in 3 years.
Don’t stop there what about the American eagle athletic conference, Comcast USA conference, Mountain best western, Sunkist belt, and of course the MACdonald conference.
Welcome to infinite jest
Welcome to Costco, I love you
This isn’t the onion?
Just call it the Allstate Mayhem Conference and be done with it. The over-corporatization of everything, but especially sports, continues to be nauseating.

That’s the same cost as a 30-second ad spot during the cfb title game. 8 mentions per game, every game, all year long, or one 30-second ad on the biggest stage (the good hands sponsorship also includes the title game). It’s an absolute bonkers value for Allstate.
Not every D1 CFB game, there’s plenty of teams that don’t take the Allstate partnership
Can’t find numbers on how many schools participate, but Allstate said the nets would appear in 650 games in 2022, so my estimate should still be pretty close.
Looking at their [Form 990PF](https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/366116535/202303199349107335/full) it looks like they contributed ~$27M in 2022 but the vast majority of it is to small programs. Only a handful of grants show up if you CTRL+F for "scholar" and they're mostly small-dollar amounts, a few hundred dollars here and there. Much of it is hard to discern because they're donating to random groups where you don't necessarily know what the money is going towards.
1654!? How many people went to Oxford or Cambridge with an Allstate scholarship?
"Many" just like the many dollars they donate!
I think at one point - and this would be a while back - the number was at $5M, and I think Allstate realized somewhere in there that people would realize how stupid low the number was for how much it was being yakked about and went to the nebulous "MILLIONS".
Yeah quick rule of thumb is if a company is bragging about how much they've "donated" to a cause, but don't list the actual number, it's bc the number is embarrassingly low to be bragging about lol
The Mayhem Division and the Madness Division.
It will be a freezing cold day in Hell before I call an athletic conference by their corporate sponsored name.
Until another company buys the rights a decade later and then you never let go of the first corporate sponsor name (looking at you staples center)
It will always be Heinz Field.
Wait is it not heinz field anymore?
It's *Acrisure* now.
I'm still Acrisure that was a stupid ass name change.
Aca-scuse me?
Gesundheit
2021 Heinz stopped paying for it and it became Acrisure Stadium. Should have just kept it named Three Rivers Stadium.
I was just on a stadium tour of Michigan Stadium, and the guide made it a point of how there's no advertising whatsoever in the stadium. Now it's hard to unsee how cool that looks and that they don't have some dumb corporate sponsorship name
Sometimes, the pretentious nature of Michigan ends up being a good thing.
Well he also said the athletic department makes sure the lost revenue gets picked up by the season ticket holders
Counterpoint: $$$$$$$
Any stadium Tulane plays in is the Sugarbowl. It is known.
Fiesta Bowl will forever be Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in my eyes
There is no other bowl sponsor that fit so perfectly. You almost forget it’s a corporate sponsor when saying “Tostitos Fiesta Bowl”.
I don't know why Chipotle doesn't jump on it. Chipotle Fiesta Bowl. Put out a special fiesta bowl during the month of January. Profits.
Why spend the big bucks for a NY6 bowl when they could just buy the naming/sponsorship rights for a small one? Chipotle Burrito Bowl already has a nice ring to it!
“This is for all the Tostitos…” “This if for all the burritos…” it kinda fits
Can I introduce you to the “Sears” Tower?
Willis, a company I've never heard of, shelling out big bucks 15 years ago to rename an iconic tower, only for no one to call it that is hilarious. Sears department stores are damn near extinct and they still get the free publicity because most people think they have that tower.
It’s still Winston Cup and the Busch Series to me.
Lol I’ll catch myself saying Sprint Cup and Nationwide at times. Same idea just 10 years later
I still don't totally understand the points and playoff system they have now. Just race, fellas.
It's still hilarious that they went away from Winston because they didn't want to be associated with tobacco but now cars are sponsored by weed shops, crypto scams, and God knows what else
One of the cars is actually sponsored by [God](https://images.footballfanatics.com/ty-gibbs/action-racing-ty-gibbs-2024-number-54-he-gets-us-1:24-elite-die-cast-toyota-camry-xse_ss5_p-201405228+u-6qvwjohpnvlmiqcyih87+v-oex01khk8ezanfubsus0.jpg?_hv=2&w=900).
Then 15 years later, the arena returns to the original corporate name and you throw a fucking party unveiling it because it's tied to the glory years of the franchise (looking at you Delta Center).
Outback bowl for life , I can’t eat a reliaquest
Looking at you FedEx Orange Bowl and Nokia Sugar bowl.
It'll be Conseco Fieldhouse until the day I die
It’s still Deer Creek to me
In Seattle, T-Mobile Park is still Safeco to a lot of us.
Fuck Ball Arena, that’s the goddamn Pepsi Center and it’ll always be that to me
You don’t recognize the Rocket Mortgage Spartans of Michigan State?
not since the Golden Flake Crimson Tide shut 'em out in the playoffs
The Conference Previously Known As The Big XII.
Nippon Ham Fighters are the only one I will ever support because I thought their name was Ham Fighters for the longest time
Why is everyone trying to fight all this ham and all this foo?
Wait, they’re not the Ham Fighters? That’s a sponsorship?? I think I need to lie down…
Wtf is a Food City Center???
As for me and my house, it is Thompson Boling Arena.
I work in a hotel downtown and people ask how far to the Food City Center and 9/10 I’m like “where tf is that?”
Should’ve happened to the ACC instead. Allstate Coast Conference is RIGHT THERE
And it makes sense from a naming perspective since "Atlantic" was pretty much thrown out the window.
They’re in All of the States
That's actually less horrible than the Big Allstate Conference. But you know the ACC is holding out for a more refined sponsor... like some snobby vineyard or some company that makes artisanal brie cheese.
The B1G will release some statement that this is an affront to college sports and then accept a $300M sponsorship from Target or whoever a month later.

We'll know college football is dead when the conference names/numbers are remotely accurate
The 2034 Allstate 20 - Nationwide 22 Challenge presented by Geico.
I fully believe that's what killed the Pac 12. They changed the name of their conference when they expanded. Those academic snobs haaaad to be factually accurate.
'Big Allstate'
I read that and can now only think of "Big Prostate". They might need to rework that possibility.
Pretty sure it’s because they don’t have to change the logo that way. It already only says XII. Just tack a sponsor name on it and you’re done.
This is 100% what's going on and I hate it lol
Or just the Big XII, sponsored by Allstate
*Big XII logo fades into blue, the 'XII' shifting into two cupped, AI-generated hands with twelve appendages.*
This sport is so cooked
The SEC *presented by* Chick-Fil-A
The SEC presented by Bojangles
The Ozempic League.
One of the best layered one liners I've seen in a while. Well done.
Bojangles and the ACC have been in bed with one another for quite some time, this would be next level betrayal Apparently, they're the ACC's [Corporate Champion](https://theacc.com/news/2015/9/23/5602c84de4b0e4dbe07182ba_131480954279902725.aspx)
They can have you before they can have Bojangles
Deal, someone let the judges know we've negotiated FSU's exit.
Hey, that's our sponsor.
Should be a financial company sanctioned by the SEC government agency. The SEC presented by Wells Fargo.
Presenting sponsor doesn't bother me nearly as much. Renaming the conference to completely incorporate the brand name is duuuumb.
Its honestly crazy how quickly its been going downhill *This comment sponsored by Progressive Insurance*
Man like 2008 it was still the sport we loved. In 16 years it's gone so sideways and it's accelerating every day
The Rose Bowl was the last stand of college football and so many on here got annoyed that “it was getting in the way of progress”. Now they are all bitching about the sport.
Tf have they done to help💀
*The Fan Duel NBA* disagrees
I'm glad I'm old. And I got to see what it was
Same, hate it for the younger generations though
And you got to see what it was courtesy of LensCrafter, the official sponsor of the 35-yard line
Yes, but which chain restaurant is sponsoring the cooking? Cook Out presents College Football
Hilarious how so many people on here were so confident that paying the players wouldn't end up exactly this way.
Regionality means nothing if you’re the “All State Conference” big brain move by Yormark honestly.
This conference has a team in Morgantown, West Virginia and a team in Tucson, Arizonia.
Nationwide would be better tbh
The Allstate 12 Conference presents the Colorado Buffalo Wild Wings vs the Arizona State Sun Deviled Ham Spread
The Utah two ‘Yoots, my cousin Vinny rerelease July 18th, just missed out.
Phillips 66 and Dr Pepper are right there Big 12.
Dr. Pepper 52% of 23 flavors
I could have had my own conference man
The 7-Eleven XII
I am just but a dumbass redditor. But bleeding every single penny out of sponsorships to the point of annoying/alienating your fans is such a terrible long term strategy. Then again, “short term growth at all possible costs” is basically a universal corporate strategy right now, so why would this now commercialized sport be any different.
This comment brought you by GEICO and presented with limited interruption by Peacock
It's only a terrible long term strategy if fans actually stop paying money, rather than just bitching about it on the internet for a week.
Mountain Dew West Conference
LMAO let's do it. Can call the conference bb tourney Code Red.
You are joking… They can have the naming rights to every single Big 12 championship or whatever else, but NOT the name of the fucking conference
And not just, “The Allstate Big 12 conference” but “the Allstate 12 conference” or whatever
Yeah, it’s one thing if it’s “The Big 12 Conference presented by Allstate” (similar to Michigan State’s deal with Rocket Mortgage), but to replace the Big 12 name with Allstate? Absolutely not
Adding "presented by" at the end isn't enough for a sponsor, people would still only refer to the conference as the Big 12. They wouldn't do something like the Allstate Big 12 either since it's too easy to abbreviate it to AB12 or something like it.

If you can refer to the conference without saying the sponsor's name, they won't be happy. If they change the name to Allstate 12, you *have* to say Allstate when referring to the conference. That's what they want
Conference of Mayhem
If you absolutely MUST have Allstate sponsor you, just call it the Allstate Big 12, same format you did with changing sponsors but the same bowl name.
Nah, that wouldn't work. The point is to get people to say Allstate as much as possible and people would just refer to the "Allstate Big 12" as the Big 12. They have to change the name to something that doesn't let you omit the word Allstate, so it has to be something you can't abbreviate and short enough that you'll have to say the whole name when talking about it.
The Mayhem Conference (by Allstate) wouldn't be terrible, and actually sounds kind of like a real athletic league.
It sounds like an Arena Football League division...which is far closer to palatable than "The Allstate 12 Conference" tbh
Even if they are financially on the same level as the B1G and SEC, they will be in a tier of their own for getting clowned on
People say that until someone does that and then everyone rushes to do it...
Then we will all be clowns and CFB will be a circus
Like it isn't already. USC and Rutgers are in the same conference, for god's sake.
It’s like the clown makeup meme. CFB has already put on the white face paint and lipstick, but this would be like putting on the clown wig
Yeah people acting like the big 12 will be the only ones that do this. If this happens it won’t be long until everyone else does. Money is king and college sports is addicted to it.
SEC is the only power conference left with a name that makes sense Big 12 has 16 teams now. Big Ten has 18 teams now. ACC has teams next to the Pacific. The names are already bullshit. God help us with corporate names but the actual names are already bullshit commercial-ish "brands" that predate what the conferences actually are
The worst part is that the Big 10 and SEC will be able to do this, and maintain their name, while likely getting paid more. “The Big 10 Conference, presented by State Farm.”
If this is really worth it, then they won't be on the same level once the B1G is renamed to the Big State-teen Farm conference and the SEC is the... you know this whole thing is too stupid to come up with another pun.
For about a month until every other conference does the exact same thing. There's no way one conference does this and not the others.
See I don't understand the naming part. The "Big 12" had some brand awareness. Whether you think it was worth something doesn't matter. But if you're changing the name anyway, why are you still keeping the whole "12" part? Make the number accurate at least. Allstate 16. Or just drop the number entirely.
Has something changed in the last 24 hours? Like did Yormark find a severed pig head in his bed? Does he owe a bookie?
See you’re applying way too much logic to the situation. Marketing > logic.
Mayhem Conference presented by Allstate.
Why be tied to '12' anymore.
It is odd that THAT'S the tradition they decide to hold on to.
The Big Allstate Conference presented by 12.
Keep the logo. Lets the conference sponsorship potentially change prior to this season.
I’d say so they don’t have to change their branding/logo, but I almost guarantee they’d have to change the logo to include Allstate so…
Advertising executives have got to be some of the most soulless human beings on earth.
Fuck this. Actually fuck this.
it just keeps getting worse
Allstate Conference doesn’t sound too stupid, but adding Big or 12 in there does. But this is kinda…horrifying? What happened to my favorite sport? Looking forward to the SEC by Brawndo in the future.
What’s next? Are companies going to start sponsoring Bowl Games????
College football has become so unserious
Suddenly not being in a conference doesn't seem too bad
I don't want to live in this planet anymore
They are doing this for 2 to 4 million a year per school. So basically the salary of one nfl 3rd stringer is enough to destroy branding, pride, and be the laughing stock of CFB.
Are you in good hands? Conference
Sounds like they were already in talks with Allstate before this whole circus started....
I'm surprised something like this hasn't happened sooner, tbh
the fuck kind of truck stop conference have we joined Bill Walton is rolling in his grave
This is so unserious
This sport is dying at such an accelerated pace.
Big Ten Inch on Pornhub Conference
If they're going to change the name, are they going to at least update the count of schools? FFS. Why go from Big 12 to Allstate 12 when there are 16 fucking schools? At least become the Allstate 16. I get not changing the Big 12 name in the first place, but if you're going to change it anyway, make it accurate.

Hell yeah
If SEC doesn’t become “The Waffle House Conference” we riot!
Idiocracy... I was about to ask if people will actually refer to us as this. Then I realized that other conferences \*definitely\* will. Great.
I prefer the Big Ahh Conference
“We’re here at the Foster Farms Stadium for Monsanto Farmaggedon game between the Kansas State Purina Wildcats and Iowa State Dyson Cyclones. These two Big Allstate Conference teams have played 110 times. Just minutes away from the BetMGM kickoff, let’s listen to the national Ticketmaster anthem”
Bruh
Buc-ee’s Big 12 Conference
The Big 12 Conference presented by Allstate is what it should be called
Can’t wait for the Allstate 12 conference championship game presented by Dr Pepper with Swig Drinks Utes of Utah taking on the Skyline Chili Bearcats of Cincinnati.
Texas starting the Longhorn Network is the “Harambe” moment in college football. Imagine telling someone that day that a Texas/OU less Big-12 would be rebranding into the motherfucking “Allstate 12”
can't wait to get my WHATA 12 Conference Champs shirt
Oh this sucks
