From donations to licensing and royalties, ticket sales, apparel deals and broadcast rights, the 25 most valuable college football teams "generate a combined $2.5 billion per year in revenue," and "clear more than $1.4 billion annually after expenses." the 25 most valuable teams in college football most recent figures from the NCAA and D of Edu from 2014 through 2016. Texas A&M takes the top spot on the list, $148 million in revenue and $107 million in profit over the three-year span. Texas, Michigan, Alabama and Ohio State round out the top five. LSU is at # 9 Oregon Ducks at No. 12, the most profitable team in the Pac-12. Ducks rank among college football's most valuable teams
Yet with all the profit everything keeps going up in cost. I don't know how people afford to go to Professional football games now. A family of 4 is 4 to 5 hundred when you figure ticket, parking, food, drinks. and that is the cheap seats the corporations don't want. College isn't much cheaper.
It's not a total accounting. USC doesn't report revenue from items they license. And Furd doesn't care about this report because they have an endowment that makes the rest of the Pac look like financial midgets.
I know it's based on contrived #s, but it makes Oregon look good, so I like it. endowments,..Stanford $24.8 billion,.. USC $5.1 billion,.. LSU $845 million,.. Oregon $825 million
