If sponsors are only interested in blue banners and trophies, then they don't get it.

As a point of reference: At no point in 1114's outstanding Chairman's winning video do they show blue banners or competition-based trophies. They chose to highlight their Woodie Flowers winners, their Dean's List winners, their scholarship recipients, the relationships wrought and opportunities afforded through being a Simbot, big or little.
