Because they are busy building 300 million dollar companies (seriously, I've never heard of Kabam either, but that's their expected 2013 revenue) and sponsoring athletics instead.

The $1.2 million annual agreement is the most lucrative field-naming-rights deal in college sports on a per-annum basis, topping what is now known as Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium at the University of Maryland ($800,000), according to a report in the Sports Business Journal.

Kabam, which was founded in 2006, is expected to generate more than $325 million in 2013, an 80 percent increase over 2012. The naming-rights deal was brokered by Premier Partnerships, a sports-advisory firm based in Los Angeles and New York.
