Where does Fox come up with this stuff..?

According to Fox. Utah is the nations 9th “most valuable” program. They posted this with no additional info/sources.

Are you saying sorry to your wife or are you a sorry wife?

Although I like the pub, I don’t think the U is more valuable than UO or USC

[Ute Dub]

But what burden does USC or Oregon have from past coaches contracts still being paid out? They may have much better revenue, but if they’ve been careless with their costs to run their program, overpaid or fired coaches, overspent on facilities compared to the number of wins and revenue they get, this will hurt their current valuation. 

[Ute Dub]

I assume it’s a basic discounted cash flow model. Utah is frugal, gets decent revenue and doesn’t spend more than it has. Take the present value of future positive cash flows at a market discount rate…there you go…maybe….

All of those numbers look way under what I’d expect.  If you “sold” Alabama, you’d get $101M? Seems a little low.

[Ute Dub]

Right? Like we could put together an investment group, buy Alabama for $101mm, lean it up, and sell it for $202mm, right? Hypothetically, if these weren’t state owned entities.

I just noticed that it’s estimated “annual” value.
