ATLANTA — In a shocking move that has left many fans reeling, Georgia Tech has sold its 2025 home game against archrival Georgia for a staggering $10 million. The decision has sparked a heated debate about the commercialization of college sports and the lengths to which teams will go to cash in on their rivalries.
The move has been seen by some as a bold move by Georgia Tech to bring in much-needed revenue. The team is facing increasing financial pressures, and the sale of the game is seen as a way to offset some of those costs. However, others have expressed concerns that the move will erode the very essence of the rivalry.
The Georgia-Georgia Tech rivalry is one of the fiercest in college football, with the two teams having played each other every year since 1893. The rivalry is known as 'Clean Old-Fashioned Hate,' a name that refers to the intense dislike between the two teams. However, with the sale of the game, some have suggested that the next step is for Georgia Tech to sell the rights to the nickname itself.
While it may seem far-fetched, the idea of selling the rights to a rivalry's nickname is not entirely unheard of. In recent years, several teams have sold the naming rights to their stadiums, with corporations paying millions of dollars to have their names plastered on the front of the venue. It is not hard to imagine a similar scenario playing out with the 'Clean Old-Fashioned Hate' nickname.
If Georgia Tech were to sell the rights to the nickname, it could potentially bring in millions of dollars. The name 'Clean Old-Fashioned Hate' is iconic, and corporations would likely jump at the chance to associate themselves with it. However, it would also raise questions about the authenticity of the rivalry. Would the name still hold the same meaning if it was being used to sell products?
For fans of the Georgia-Georgia Tech rivalry, the idea of selling the nickname is a difficult pill to swallow. The rivalry is more than just a game; it is a way of life for many people in the state of Georgia. The thought of a corporation swooping in and buying up the rights to the name is unpalatable to many.
