Having to pay for double B's buffet costs on gamedays alone makes up that difference.

That sounds great until you actually think about what it means and notice that the words "adjustments," "assessments," and "projections" are the ones that can make the conclusion a clusterfrick of arbitrary implementation of the parameters.

In short, the list is only as reliable as the person making it.

Richer in what way? Some sort of made-up non-liquid value as determined by one newspaper?

I'm assuming A&M's calculated value is dragged down here by a loss of revenue related to changing conferences. I would expect them to be top 10 in a more even-handed analysis.

UK has had over 10K more seats and they price their upperdeck tickets the same as your 20-40 yard line tickets.

If price and inventory had any predictable correlation to revenue, it might make a difference.

Would have expected FSU to be higher than 22nd.

FSU has to steal money from the state to stay solvent.

In this case is value based on generated revenue? If so, maybe because they should be ahead of us because of what you stated. But we've sold out every game for the past 3+ years. Also, based on your criteria they should be ahead of Ole Miss as well. I don't think it has to do with seat numbers.

not surprisingly, the dallas cowboys and texas are the most highly valued football programs in the country, and neither one is worth a damn ...

If this is what we are valuing this on, we should be ahead of you -- or at the very least, even with you.

I never expect Aggie to do better than 3rd in the SECW on the field, but at the very least you could cease being mediocre at finances? Where's all those hundreds of millions you love bragging about raising in a single year?
