USA TODAY Sports challenges Florida-Georgia's new name for rivalry game

The Florida-Georgia rivalry game has been rebranded as the "Invesco QQQ Atlanta Gridiron Classic" for this year's matchup in Atlanta, as EverBank Stadium undergoes renovations. USA TODAY Sports criticized the change, expressing a preference for the historical nickname, the "World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party." This new name is part of a trend in college football where corporate sponsorships shape the naming of events. The rivalry's nickname originated from the game's tailgating culture in Jacksonville, which is not scheduled to host the game again until 2028.
