Did The Big 12 Monster Patch Deal CHEAT Houston Cougars and Conference Out Of Millions?
5d ago00:09:58Tap to summarizeBig 12’s Monster Energy patch sparks heated debate—are fans overreacting to sponsorships, or is this a missed revenue opportunity?

The discussion explored the true value of group deals, Brett Yormark’s long-term vision, and how perception may not match reality. Is Houston maximizing its earnings, or is the real win simply unexpected new revenue? 00:00 — Monster Energy Patch Leak Discussion of leaked images, initial public reaction, and overview of the Monster Energy Big 12 jersey and field patch deal. 02:25 — Comparisons: Big 12 vs. Individual Deals Analysis of Ohio State and Notre Dame's individual jersey patch deals, public concerns over relative value, and breakdown of why comparisons may be misguided. 06:43 — Impact and Perception Debate over the actual on-field and jersey aesthetic, flexibility for schools to add more sponsorship deals, and broader industry context for conference-wide vs. individual school deals.
