UA also gets three years of NFL exposure while the new rams stadium is being built.

if all goes as expected, LA should host the 2024 olympics and significant matches of the 2026 world cup. however, the IOC and FIFA don't allow stadia to have a sponsor's name attached - so the coliseum will likely revert to being the LA coliseum for those events with a global audience. (this is assuming that the coliseum will host these marquee events, as opposed to the new inglewood stadium).
