Wall St Journal article valuing college athletic programs.

LSU is one of only 9 college athletic programs that would be valued at more than a billion dollars on the open market.
If you can't get past the paywall, here's the main point--
"The Buckeyes would be worth $1.96 billion if the team could be sold on the open market, according to an analysis by Ryan Brewer, an associate professor of finance at Indiana University Columbus. That puts Ohio State just ahead of Texas ($1.9 billion) and rival Michigan ($1.66 billion), with six other programs—Georgia, Notre Dame, LSU, Penn State, Tennessee and Texas A&M—topping the billion dollar mark.
Brewer conducts his study by analyzing a program’s finances and asking: What would it be worth if it could be bought and sold like a professional franchise?"

Aggie also on the list.
Imagine being valued at over a billion dollars and still have to make fake trophies

Market value has more to do with how much money a program generate not how many games you win or lose.

It’s amazing people don’t understand that. And Economic value is likely how Woodward is evaluated.

In other words we have the resources but squander it so we get our asses kicked consistently.

No. Football contributes $50m in profits to support other parts of the athletic dept. we have solid programs across the board because of football.

Not really, it is not about resources. You could be a popular team and if may people watch your teams nationwide there is potential for more revenue and your market value goes up because more investors are willing to invest in you.
