Go look at what they've done in terms of investments in Apple-related technology in their facilities.

They've got some shite going that reminds you of the Starship Enterprise there. Their video team edits in Final Cut Pro, uploads the cut-ups to their servers, & their Apple system pushes it directly to their iPads, iPhones, etc...They can watch the tape in real time as soon as its uploaded by their video department.

The money they spent is mind-blowing. I know they finished 10-3, but it does make you stop and think about how cheap they went on their coaching staff, etc. Stinks.

That list is BS

As noted, the fact they Arkansas and auburn ahead of Florida completely negates any possible value.

In case you guys do not know - auburn could not sell out their season tickets after a tainted "National Championship" even with Alabama coming in

This list is total BS.

Value? Or revenue stream? Value would be more like 5 times these figures. If someone were to buy one of these programs and run it as a private business (I know, not possible), they'd make their money back in one year based on these figures. These are not values of the programs.

LSU will have more than 100 million revenue this year. No way it's value is just 100 million


That's revenue, dillus, not profit. Their expenses might be $99 million. If their revenue was $105 million, that would give hem $6 million net income. Using a 15 multiplier would make LSU worth $90 million.

No Nebraska? Anyone who's been dragged to Nebraska can tell you they are just as crazy about their Huskers as we are for the Tigers. Seriously, there's Husker shite all over the place.
