[QUOTE="Get Your Frogs Up, post: 651278, member: 6384"] Merch Frog is correct. Dr. Pepper is the current presenting sponsor of the trophy and they use it as an additional marketing tool. During the week, Dr. Pepper coordinates with its vendors in towns that have teams in the national title race to display the trophy at local grocery stores, predominantly near the colleges of the schools in the title race. On the weekend, Dr. Pepper and ESPN collaborate regarding which game the trophy will be showcased on-air. Sometimes they agree, sometimes they don't, and it depends on the circumstances as to who wins out. The TCU Kroger appearance was going to be longer, pushed harder and in conjunction with an on-air trophy appearance at the UT v. OU game, but UT crapped the bed against UCLA so the trophy game appearance changed to Oregon v. Stanford. Consequently, the trophy appearance at the TCU Kroger was shortened. Dr. Pepper also has a giveaway of free college tuition and the grocery store appearances are used to receive applicants, but that won't be happening either because of the shortened time-frame.
