TCPAWORLD AFTERDARK: The Golden Lion meets the Golden Bears

Add a comment

So I was trying to keep this a secret. But Cal dropped a press release and tons of you saw it.

So, yes.

We will have our logo ON THE FIELD at Cal Memorial Stadium for the next four years.

At the 25 yard line.

A 28 by 20 foot logo.

The lion.

In bear territory.

My alma mater.

Just pause and think about that for a second.

I will post more about why I did this later.

Obviously I am a Golden Bear for life. Like Oppenheimer before me.

I wanted to attend Cal since I was in 4th grade.

It was the only school I applied to.

But this wasn’t a move from the heart.

Tell me this isn’t a good investment.

Tell me every company in its right mind won’t want the real estate we just acquired.

Especially when Cal makes the playoff next year (or maybe the year after.)

For those who know college sports– is there a single other team IN THE NATION that you’d rather buy stock in? Not me. This is a classic “buy low” situation.

Anyway, here’s the first of several press releases. You’ll definitely want to watch the big game to see how SICK this looks in real life. Its ridiculous guys. Could not be happier.

Lots more soon.

Cal Athletics Enters Sponsorship Agreement With Troutman Amin, LLP

Nationally Recognized Law Firm Will Have Its Logos Painted On Field At California Memorial Stadium

BERKELEY – In its ongoing commitment to identifying new and innovative revenue streams while valuing regional and strategic partnerships, Cal Athletics and Learfield Cal Bears Sports Properties announced Wednesday an impactful sponsorship agreement with Troutman Amin, LLP, highlighted by corporate logos on the playing field at California Memorial Stadium.

Troutman Amin is a nationally recognized law firm that was founded by Eric J. Troutman, a 1999 Cal alumnus.

“We are absolutely thrilled to enter into this innovative new partnership with Troutman Amin, LLP, especially since Eric Troutman is a Golden Bear himself,” Cal Director of Athletics Jim Knowlton said. “Troutman Amin’s support helps us in our ongoing quest to provide a world-class experience for our student athletes and is another means for us to generate revenue as we move forward in this evolving landscape of intercollegiate athletics.”

Troutman Amin, LLP’s logos will be painted on the 25-yard line at both ends of the field, across from the ACC logos. The new logos are expected to be on the field in time for the Big Game this Saturday against Stanford.

“As Cal heads into the Big Game this weekend, we’re excited to feature Troutman Amin LLP’s logo on the field at California Memorial Stadium,” said Joey Swanner, General Manager at Cal Bears Sports Properties. “This partnership offers tremendous potential as we continue to bring more opportunities to our partners in growing and emerging categories.”

Troutman Amin, LLP, based out of Irvine, Calif., handles multi-billion dollar complex federal court litigation and provides compliance advice on federal and state laws across the country.

“If you stop and think about it, this was a no-brainer for us,” Troutman said. “Cal is one of the top two schools in Silicon Valley, and one of the nation’s leading engines for high-tech innovation. Troutman Amin, LLP is recognized as one of the country’s most innovative law firms focused on emerging practice areas like telecom, data privacy and AI. So, this is an absolutely perfect match. And the fact that I am a Cal grad just makes it all the more meaningful.”

“The University of California, Berkeley, is one of the greatest universities on Earth and the Cal brand is one of the strongest in college sports,” Troutman Amin, LLP partner Puja J. Amin said. “At Troutman Amin, LLP, we are all about defending and growing powerful brands across the country. Our lion shield logo on the field at California Memorial Stadium sends a powerful message – we are fully behind the Cal Athletics program and happy to help the massive network of Cal alums out there as they continue innovating solutions to the world’s toughest problems, just like how Troutman Amin, LLP handles the world’s toughest litigation – day in, day out.”

The Czar of TCPAWorld Eric Troutman is one of the country’s prominent class action defense lawyers and is nationally recognized in Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation and compliance. He has served as lead defense counsel in more than 70 national TCPA class actions and has litigated nearly a thousand individual TCPA cases in his role as national strategic litigation counsel for major banks and finance companies. He also helps industry participants build TCPA-compliant processes, policies, and systems. Eric has built a national litigation practice based upon deep experience, rigorous analysis and extraordinary responsiveness. Eric and his team feel equally at home litigating multibillion dollar telecommunications class actions in federal court as they do developing and executing national litigation strategies for institutions facing an onslaught of individual TCPA matters. They thrive in each of these roles – delivering consistently excellent results – while never losing sight of the client experience. While many firms now tout TCPA expertise, Eric has been there from the beginning. He built one of the country’s first TCPA-only defense teams and began serving as national TCPA counsel for his clients nearly a decade ago. This perspective allows him to swiftly develop the right litigation strategies for dealing with recurring problems, without wasting time on tactics that are bound to fail. Eric’s rich historical perspective and encyclopedic knowledge of the TCPA landscape also make him an invaluable resource to institutional compliance teams struggling to comply with the shifting regulatory landscape. No task is too small – or too big. Indeed, Eric and his team have helped build TCPA-compliant systems and processes for some of the largest and most complex corporate entities in the country. He commonly works with in-house compliance counsel to build and implement enterprise and business-line specific TCPA solutions, performs TCPA audits and drafts and reviews proposed TCPA policies and procedures. He and his team also have the technical expertise necessary to assist call centers seeking to develop TCPA-resistant call path architecture or to modify existing telephony and software integration to better insulate from potential TCPA exposure. Eric has built a reputation for thought leadership. An avid blogger and speaker, he has been at the forefront of the industry’s effort to push for clarity and a return to sanity for the TCPA for years. He was selected to advocate for the financial services industry on important TCPA issues before the Federal Communications Commission and co-authored the nation’s only comprehensive practice guide on TCPA defense. In his spare time, Eric leads defense teams representing banks and other financial services companies in consumer finance litigation matters. He has experience representing clients in UCC, TILA, RESPA FCRA, CCRA, CLRA, FDCPA, RFDCPA and FCCPA claims, as well as in fraud and bank operations issues.
