LSU football if sold on open market would probably go for $1.5-3 billion

Just a little extrapolation. Profit from football was $55 mil last year. Normal P/E ratios one could expect I believe from a sports franchise or a number of stocks is 20-60x. The Pelicans made the exact same amount last year at operating income of $57 mil and are valued at $2.5 bil That'd mean LSU football would go for anywhere from $1.5 to $3.0 bil in my opinion.
In addition, there's no remaining capex really with stadium complete. No debt. I doubt they're paying fed and state tax at a public uni sport, so that'd go in effect if taken private.
Btw, this would be around 3-6x what LSU's total endowment at $625 mil.

I'm going to call Gale Benson and see if she's interested.

I’d think it would be much higher honestly.

You're right. I adjusted it because after looking at Pelicans operating income, it was the same as LSU football. They're valued at $2.5 bil after searches online.

That's an expensive football.

I’m a buyer at $3.50

It's crazy, the valuation of sports franchises, especially the NFL. The Falcons were bought by Arthur Blank around 25 years ago for about a half billion and everyone thought he overpaid. They're worth about $7B now.

It’s a great business model for an owner when you don’t have to pay market value for most of the employees.
Jayden Daniels probably made a few million in endorsements last season. LSU probably paid him a “salary” of less than $500k. In a free market he likely would have commanded $10M - $20M in “salary”

are retroactively paying players? Because no way you pay Jayden that before last season.

He also was free to be in the NFL.
And of course, he never was forced to play football at all.

Is it really that outrageous to have raising cane’s buy the program in 20 years the way all of this bullshite is going?

Imagine being Todd Graves...you could buy LSU Football for $3 Billion and still have $4.6 Billion left.

Is there anything different Pels vs lsu, pro vs college that would change anything?
