Question about naming rights

[Green Crazy]

Does anyone know what the universities policy is about selling naming rights is? I have some friends that went to Canton for First Monday and they said there was all sorts of Texas college paraphernalia (UT, A & M, TT, etc..), but hardly any NT stuff. When my friends asked, the people said that they could not get NT's naming rights. First, is this true, does NT not like to sell their naming rights? Second, if this is true, why would they do this?

I think what you are asking about is Collegiate Licensing. The demand drives the availability of such items.

I don't think this situation has anything to do with collegiate licensing, Canton is full of people with trades (embroidery, wood work, etc..), so most of the merchandise sold is made by the merchants. From my understanding, the merchants could not make anything using UNT's logo or font. Isn't this more of a trade mark thing?

Hopefully FFR will come along - He will be able to provide all the details to clear this up.

Its there but you have to look for it. My wife found both NT and LaTech stuff last weekend. Now it LOOKS like stuff you'd get in Canton, but it was there.
