Thought this was interesting ; but not really a surprise.
LSU at #13 Program Worth ; and on the actual football field last season
Adding Texas upped the ante ; but still i expect LSU in the SEC Championship game once every 4 years!
It isn’t surprising that the top of the list is dominated by SEC and Big Ten schools — due largely to each conference’s massive media rights deals.
In aggregate, the SEC is worth roughly $13.3 billion, an average of about $832 million per school; followed by the Big Ten at about $13.2 billion, an average of roughly $734 million per school; the ACC at roughly $10 billion, or about $558 million per school; and the Big 12, at roughly $6.7 billion, or about $420 million per school.
