Domain name registrar sponsors a college football bowl game.
After years of advertising in the Super Bowl, GoDaddy is upping its football ante by sponsoring its own college football bowl game. The company will be taking over what was the GMAC Bowl, and it will now be known as the GoDaddy.com Bowl.
The game takes place January 6, 2011 in Mobile, Alabama, and features teams from the Mid-American and Sun Belt Conferences. It’s a smaller bowl game (last year Troy faced Central Michigan) but takes place later in the bowl season.
The company will be giving away 3,000 tickets to Mobile area youth for a special “kids zone”.
More details are available at GoDaddyBowl.com.

Sounds like a great idea and will give them some big fish in small pond exposure. Wonder if Bob Parsons finds these opportunities himself or if there is a marketing firm hired to do that.

Should have renamed it the “Tacky Bowl”. I’ll pass, and there’s no way I’d let my kids watch this game on tv – the fact that college football let this company sponsor a bowl shows me its all about the money and college football must be hurting for it.
