Continue Sponsoring ESPN’s “College GameDay” |
The Home Depot has inked a three-year renewal of its presenting sponsorship of
ESPN’s “College GameDay” show, which will continue to be called “ESPN College
GameDay Built By The Home Depot.” The deal includes branding on the set’s main
desk, commercial spots and a series of sponsored features across ESPN properties.
The company will also sponsor vignettes on Friday’s “SportsCenter” and on the
Saturday “GameDay” that feature favorite moments from the latter’s first 20 years.
An expanded two-hour “GameDay” will make its season debut on Saturday at its new
10:00am ET start time. The first show will originate from Atlanta, site of Notre
Dame-Georgia Tech, which will air on ABC at 8:00pm, marking the debut of “Saturday
Night Football Presented by Southwest Airlines.” “GameDay” has a new dedicated
Web site at www.collegegameday.com (THE DAILY).
FSN FOOTBALL DEALS: In this week’s SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL, John Ourand

low seven figures for the network’s Big 12 and Pac-10 college football games.”

The net has also signed Nike to sponsor an expanded high school football lineup
featuring eight national games. FSN Exec VP/Ad Sales Kyle Sherman said the deal
represents a “nice six-figure deal” for the network. Sources said that the value
of the deal is “north of $500,000” (SBJ,
