Tennessee football and Pilot Corporation are in business together, and but their deal won't alter the name of Neyland Stadium.

UT and the Knoxville-headquartered fuel supplier announced a landmark deal this week that will put the Pilot name on Shields-Watkins Field and Pilot branding throughout the stadium. But, importantly, UT and Pilot agree that the name of the stadium isn't going corporate. The Neyland Stadium name will remain.

On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer, Adam Sparks and John Adams detail the news, explain what it means and project what might be next for Tennessee in its string of moneymaking branding deals for stadiums.

What does Tennessee get out of this deal with Pilot?

Financial details were not disclosed, but one estimate indicates the branding deal will generate tens of millions in new revenue for Vols athletics at a time when college athletics costs are increasing and administrators explore previously untapped areas for cash.

So, what's next? Keep an eye on Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
