What's your SEC team worth?

[gnvgator]

Ryan Brewer, an assistant professor of finance at Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus, calculated the intrinsic valuations for 115 of the teams in the top-tier Football Bowl Subdivision. Among other factors, the study looked at each program's revenues and expenses and made cash-flow adjustments, risk assessments and growth projections for each school. The resulting figures represent what the teams might fetch if they could be bought and sold like pro franchises. (As a point of reference, the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars sold in late 2011 for about $760 million.)

:laugh:

I read that around 5 AM this morning. You should read what the children on ESPiN are saying about that article and their football team's worth/value, especially the 'bama brats.

Get rid of the bottom four ;)

Jacksonville probably has an inflated value due to the NFL TV contract, so they are lucky to be piggybacking on the value of other NFL franchises and the NFL brand as a whole. Now that the SEC has expanded, and may expand again, I bet the value of the top tier SEC programs will take a sizable jump upward when the SEC can negotiate a new TV contract.

Another surprising thing is to see Tennessee so low. Their program's decline in performance, for now an extended period of time, has really hurt them. They ought to be up in the top 5.

My SEC team, the Florida Gators, are worth everything to me! :)

I'm surprised with Auburn being that high. I know they won a championship 2 years ago but I'm still shocked.

Not trying to poke fun but I think the income avg between an auburn fan and a bama fan is the reason why.
