Officials at Texas A&M University received nationwide reaction prior of kickoff of Sunday’s Denver Broncos playoff game.
Vice President of Marketing and Communications Jason Cook says they’re addressing a parachutist flying into Mile High Stadium carrying a flag stating “The 12th Man”, which is a university trademark.
Cook says the university doesn’t want to dilute “The 12th Man” as has happened with other brand names.
A&M has had a contract with the Seattle Seahawks since 2006 for limited use of the trademark, which Cook says provides additional proof of ownership.
Jason Cook visits with WTAW’s Bill Oliver.
