4. LSU Tigers / SEC / $102 million

Another popular SEC team takes Forbes’s No .4 spot with a total value of more than $100 million. Forbes reports that the Tigers are now worth $102 million — their revenue stands at $69 million while their profit comes to $45 million. The Tigers enjoy a great deal of attention when it comes to college football: They have won three BCS National Championships, among other accolades. LSU has been featured on ESPN College GameDay a total of 20 times, and the show has broadcast from Baton Rouge nine times.

And that was with a stadium that sat only 92,542. Can't wait to see this list next year with a 100,000+ seat stadium!

Well damn pretty sure we were #3 a couple of years ago. Still for all the people complaining about miles makes too much, we actually are getting a deal. He's not even the 3rd highest paid coach in the sec.

Forbes doesn't count BCS games that are only a rematch of the Game of the Century!

Beat Bama 9-6 at their place. That was the NC game. The other was a make-up and Forbes doesn't recognize that one.

But it could be that they counted a baseball NC with the 2 football NC since it's a evaluation of the entire program not just football.

oops, I missed that "football" is the evaluation.

Well go back to the 9-6 win for the NC.
