None. However I do pull for the Ags in sports.

Don’t pull for them in financials. But hey.., you do you.

If you are talking about who wins a game or how the season went? Sure. If you are talking about the future of college athletics though you couldn't be more wrong. That list shows why Super Conferences can't be stopped and are coming fast. Essentially the SEC and B1G have almost every valuable program, just need to add a few of the stragglers to complete the picture.

You can love or hate the idea of Supers but they are happening. Be thankful that in the SEC we are haves. I do wonder if they just blow up the Big 2 completely and add and drop some schools. I am not advocating for it but money is money and NIL has made it so that in order to compete programs have to have monster checkbooks long term. Also those teams with monster checkbooks and the networks that pay to have them want to make sure they are playing.

Doesn't help that the 2 G5's were blown out and looked like September warm up games as expected. Doesn't help that they are being treated as farm clubs for NIL and for poaching coaches openly.

As to who is #1 vs #20 it doesn't matter much.

Artificial? It’s not like Georgia comes out bad in this list… But I’ll have my crackerjack data integrity team get right on that


These "evaluations" are just guesses.Show me exact revenue/profit along NIL budgets (good luck)

What exactly is the evaluation for Texas Tech? You think that billionaire clown who signs all those NIL checks GAS?

Nebraska still being on this list is pretty amazing. 38th state based on population.


Nebraska moving to the big ten saved their athletic department. Their football will never return to the glory years but the are competitive in so many more sports now. They wouldn’t have been able to do that with Big XII money

Hey man, great that you are exercising your critical thinking skills, but I just re-posted this info. Looks like you will need to set up some meetings with Nick Wright, the author of the underlying article, and debate him about his sources…
