Sponsorship Research International (SRi) analyzed four
     college bowl games airing between 12/30/97 and 1/2/98 to
     measure the amount of exposure received by the title
     sponsor.  The sponsor exposure column represents the amount
     of time the sponsor's name or logo was legible as a
     percentage of the entire broadcast including pre-kickoff
     activities and the post-game wrap-up.  For the Rose Bowl,
     where there is no sponsorship, exposure was based on the
     presence of the "Tournament of Roses" words and logo (SRi).
