I saw one of the Mike the Tiger mascots wearing a jersey with a patch on it. It looks like some type of energy company that I've seen on the LED ribbons/new scoreboard.
I remember it was a white picture with teal/green letters, all I can think of. Wasn't terribly noticeable, but I still hated it.

Yes, it makes sense.
The only reason I think it wouldn’t be Canes is because he has deals with a lot of schools and players. If one company is going on all sports, it’s probably someone north of $100b.

What have they done to the game I love? Nothing is sacred.
Ironically, it's your's and my love of the game that has led to this.
Until the 1980's college football was largely a scholiastic extra-curricular activity. Yes, colleges made money by selling tickets, concessions, licensing their trademarks for use on t-shirts, hats, etc. But CFB wasn't a big business then.
Then cable TV started to come along and the networks realized there was HIGH demand for the consumption of college football. The schools also realized fans were willing to pay more and more and more for tickets, parking passes, concessions, basically anything associate with college football.
The conferences starting signing bigger and bigger TV contracts. The schools were generating more and more revenue. Millions were flowing in. Then the players started to recognize that while the conferences, schools, coaches, were getting more and more money by the year, the player's "compensation" pretty much stay the same...a scholarship. The NCAA, conferences, schools continued to call it "amateur sports" while, they were operating as multi-million dollar entertainment BUSINESSES.
Finally, the NCAA and schools could no longer pretend CFB (and basketball) was simply an "amateur sport" when they were signing multi-BILLON dollar media/TV deals. The "legalization" of NIL was not a sudden even that occurred in 2020. It was the end of a long process that had been going on for decades. The NCAA and schools saw it coming. But why pay the players until you are forced to? They could have been proactive in taking steps to prepare for the coming inevitability. But they didn't. So now CFB is basically a largely unregulated free-for-all marketplace. One where the demand for more and more money from the schools and players is ever increasing. The latest step in that is selling ad space on the jerseys.
Why?
Because us the fans (i.e. consumer) can't get enough of CFB.

Officials at LSU are really bragging about this deal, and how LSU is ahead of the game in securing a deal before it’s officially allowed.
However, what’s the market rate for jersey patches??
No one knows because there isn’t even a market yet.
Maybe there will only be a handful of top dollar deals once the dust settles, and LSU has already secured one of them. But maybe LSU jumped the gun too soon, and there will be more lucrative deals, with better partnership and branding opportunities.
Just because it’s a deal, doesn’t mean it’s a good deal.

This feels like a really bizarre melt. To say LSU has no ballpark idea of what a market value jersey sponsorship would be is nothing short of ridiculous 
The energy company paying for this probably beat out a ton of suitors

LSU is all in on LNG - Venture Global and Woodside Energy.

The Venture Global ads on the field
Yea these actually look kinda cool. It’s all about if it’s a good company and if the logo is tasteful and/or cool. If it is then, no big deal. If it’s an embarrassing company or the logo looks tacky, then that would absolutely suck and negatively impact the fan experience.
