according to Forbes
Our second annual ranking of the most valuable teams in college football is based on what the football programs contribute to four important beneficiaries: their university (the value of contributions from football to the institution for academic purposes, including scholarship payments for football players); athletic department (the net profit generated by the football program ultimately retained by the department); conference (the distribution of bowl game revenue); and local communities with a vested interest in the team (incremental spending in the county during home-game weekends). Our system weighs those four elements in declining order. This year's rankings were expanded from 15 to 20 teams.
1. University of Notre Dame, Fighting Irish
Value: $101 million
2. University of Texas, Longhorns
Value: $92 million
3. University of Georgia, Bulldogs
Value: $90 million
4. University of Michigan, Wolverines
Value: $85 million
5. University of Florida, Gators
Value: $84 million
6. Louisiana State University, Tigers
Value: $76 million
7. University of Tennessee, Volunteers
Value: $74 million
8. Auburn University, Tigers
Value: $73 million
9. University of Alabama, Crimson Tide
Value: $72 million
10. Ohio State University, Buckeyes
Value: $71 million
11. University of Oklahoma, Sooners
Value: $70 million
12. University of South Carolina, Gamecocks
Value: $69 million
13. Pennsylvania State University, Nittany Lions
Value: $69 million
14. University of Southern California, Trojans
Value: $53 million
15. University of Arkansas, Razorbacks
Value: $53 million
16. Texas A&M University, Aggies
Value: $50 million
17. University of Washington, Huskies
Value: $50 million
18. University of Nebraska, Cornhuskers
Value: $49 million
19. Michigan State University, Spartans
Value: $44 million
20. University of Wisconsin, Badgers

Never in a million years would I guess the nation's most "valuable" team would be among some of the
worst of the worst in D1. That's just fecking crazy.
And check out 5-9. They're stuffing dollar bills into the meatgrinder BECAUSE THEY CAN.

If they are using the cost of football scholarships as stated in the quote, then the gap between ND and Texas and the other state schools is likely smaller. What is the cost for tuition, room and board at ND? $45-50 grand. At Texas? $10-15 grand.
There is an additional $2 mil +
Interesting ranking though. These are the same schools that top the list in "gear" sales too.

It appears that SEC country is concentrated at the bottom of that list.
Ignorance is bliss.

Funny.....having lived in many places....women in Fl have always seemed more in shape. I always thought it was because there is really no winter. More months in shorts and skirts. Fl girls seem much more in shape then elsewhere. Just an observation. Can't speak for all of the south.

well someone's making the south fat, toothless, and unathletic, and i'm sure they haven't hi-v'd anyone lately.
i was actually under the impression that the midwest was the fattest part of the country. at least that's what
look outside the window tells me.

Funny you should say that, 4 of the top 10 states with the highest AIDS rate are deep in the heart of SEC land.... Washington DC is by far way ahead of everyone else and the ridiculous number in DC are probably what brings the number up in Maryland and Delaware but Florida is #4 with a bullet, Georgia #5, Louisiana #6 and South Carolina is at #9. Tennessee and Mississippi are just outside the top 10 at 12 and 14, Alabama is 17
of the 9 states in the SEC, only Kentucky and Arkansas (the two furthest North) have less Aids per person than the state of "fruits and nuts".... California

Worst teeth? That should read worst tooth. Comes from that meat grinder schedule.

i'd like to see a cost per capita/population density.
i'd bet OU and Nebraska are in the top 5 in that.
because what we are really talking about is ad revenue and TV and ratings....both of which are products of population density and fannies in front of TV sets and ad money--once you assume winning as a constant, not a variable.
deny it if you want, but that's how it works. do you think the network news is about public interest too?
