Like it or not, Neyland Stadium could look a little bit different this fall. Well, the playing surface, at least.

The NCAA recently approved a resolution that will allow schools to place the logos of corporate sponsors on the field. And not along the edges, beyond the end zone or behind the players on the sideline. Actually in between the lines.  Schools will reportedly be allowed to place one single logo on the 50-yard line, and two smaller ones elsewhere. 

As such, one can expect to see a corporate logo or two grace Shields-Watkins field when the Tennessee Vols run out of the tunnel onto the field on Saturday, August 31 against Chattanooga.

Who could be those logos/companies? Here are some strong candidates.

Pilot

Founded by Jim Haslam and headquartered in Knoxville, Pilot Flying J is probably the most logical pick out of all options. It would honestly be a surprise if its name isn’t in a prominent location on the field.

Food City

Hey, they’ve already put their name on Thompson-Boling Arena, so why not add their name to the school’s primary stadium? It’s a logical next step for the grocery giant.

Weigel’s

Has any local business been more visible publicly with their NIL deals? Weigel’s social media team has killed it with pro-UT posts while the company has had multiple NIL deals with football, baseball, softball, and men’s and women’s basketball players. It makes sense that they'd take another step forward here.

French’s

Hey, if Tennessee REALLY wanted to be a troll – and the mustard giant was on board – this could end up being a very fun partnership. No, it’s not likely, but tell me you wouldn’t get a chuckle and a wry smile from it.
