re: College Football Revenue

As much as I hate to say it, TexasAg13 is definitely right in the discussion of business valuation. Revenues are only are really used in valuation in certain situations mainly to project potential growth. Startups that make a ton of money but have a ton of debt still get valued high even though they don't report profit. In general though, for a typical small business, discounted cashflows are where its at.



Thats all beside the point though. Athletic department profits don't mean shite, but only because its sole purpose is to improve the school and its athletic programs. Every dollar they bring in at LSU, I want them to spend it by either giving it to the school or building/renovating a buncha shite.
