bullshite, you're triggered.

I want to see the formula.

the Wall Street Journal is one of the few trustworthy media outlets around

Our facilities alone are higher than the value given.

Location, location, location.

Interesting info

your football facilities are worth over half a billion alone?

not sure I am ready to buy into that...

Thursday’s long-anticipated reveal of the Aggies’ Bright Complex was, in short, breathtaking. Most of the $20.8 million undertaking was spent on enhancements for the players’ experience including updated locker rooms, lounges, hallways, meeting rooms and a hydrotherapy pool just to name a few.

Here is over 1/2 a billion in the last 4-5 years.

look - I am not trolling here

the fact that y'all spent close to half a billion does not mean the facility is worth half a billion

something is "worth" whatever you can actually get somebody else to pay for it (and it ain't for sale)

I am not saying that your project was overpriced, nor am I saying that it should not have been done

the money will wind up being well spent because I am confident that your revenues and ticket sales moving forward will more than justify it

so, in my opinion, the renovation costs do not speak to the actual value of property or the stadium, but rather to the value of future projected revenues to your program (and I am confident that those costs will be amortized and written off)

also, it has been well documented that aTm has nearly unlimited resources, due mostly to your oil endowments

I have always been "pro Aggie" ever since potential expansion and offering y'all an invite came up; my post history will back this up

I am glad that your school takes having top notch, state of the art facilities seriously

I also mixed emotions on being jealous of the 100K + seating capacity; but I really don't ever want to see our bridge knocked down, so it will never happen

having said all of that - great find to prove your point

and I am pretty sure that this WSJ valuation is the "worth of the brand" as a whole

It would be interesting to see the conference breakdown as-in the totals for each conference compared to one another.

Wonder why LSU is not listed?

they are listed in the WSJ article - 5th, just behind Bama

there was a thread earlier Still on the front page - LINK / about the effects that Amazon, Netflix & other web based media outlets would have on future conference alignments

that thread cites an article that ended by naming teams that would "never be left behind" because of their value - listed the top teams and sourced the WSJ article I used for the thread - he left LSU off his list, despite the fact that they were ranked 5th in the article he sourced

he also made the point that the "top 40 teams" based on value had nothing to worry about with future deals

in the same article that he listed GA Tech as a "fodder team" for top programs (again, his article has GA Tech listed at #38)

interesting article, but the guy was really sloppy - par for the course with today's "journalism"
