Brewer assesses what every college team would be worth on the open market if it could be bought and sold like a professional franchise. The study analyzes each program’s revenues and expenses with cash-flow adjustments, risk assessments and growth projections.
While Brewer found that cash flows were up 7.1% over last year, the overall values tumbled because of the headwinds facing the sport that haven’t shown up in balance sheets yet but have the potential to challenge the future of the sport. Those questions include broad ones about amateurism and more specific issues, such as the ones raised by the federal probe resulting in 10 arrests and which alleged a system of corruption, bribery and kickbacks.
“In particular for college basketball, the FBI investigation attacks the very heart of the industry,” Brewer said. “The reason for the drop in the valuation is that new risk.”
These issues hurt the value of schools tied to the investigation, Brewer noted, and more generally big-time programs that could be affected by any fallout. He added that TV and media ratings for conference tournaments and NCAA tournament games so far showed a mixed bag of results.

Your numbers are misleading.
246.6K = 246,600 USD
According to the article UK is worth 246,600,000 USD
Big difference between 246 million and 246 thousand.

And the majority of LSU fans are screaming for a new, state of the art arena

Probably has something to do with all the new facilities. If we were still in the tad pad, we'd prolly be worth bout tree fiddy.

Everyone 48 and lower should be embarrassed that the school with arguably the worst basketball legacy (not much to argue tbh) in the conference is worth more than them

I was gonna say that there’s no way UK basketball is worth less than 300k
Alabama football is probably worth an insane amount
Alabama football is probably worth an insane amount

I'm not signing in to read that stupid article, but this makes more sense. OP needs to change the k to an m so that it reads millions...

The Ole Miss value is beyond generous.
Posted on 4/3/18 at 8:59 am to SummerOfGeorge
I’m gonna cut a check to LSU to buy the team.

What metrics are they using to arrive at these valuations.
MM is millions by the way.

The state is basically obsessed with one thing. Alabama Football with Auburn riding in distant second.
It's the strangest thing to experience.

Hell, Alabama has become an icon of college football. I'd bet that the school receives more commercial revenue from outside the state than from within.

Yea, my bad, I meant M, obviously.
