College and professional sports franchises are trying to wring every last dollar from their stadium deals, what with naming rights and seat licenses and all.

Here's a trend we're hoping doesn't catch on. The University of Georgia boosters are unveiling an official team cemetery on Saturday:

"Bulldog Haven," a designated area of burial plots within famous Oconee Hill Cemetery next to Sanford Stadium reserved in death only for those that have worn the uniform, their coaches and their families. Now a Bulldog can come full circle," said Mack Guest, Letterman's Association president and one of the conceptual founders of the project.
