Arkansas #8....I was a little surprised.

I wonder about their methodology...I read this a month or so ago and wondered about it when the ranked Wyoming as more valuable than FSU.

I read this awhile back also and thought...talk about subjective. Only USC on the West Coast has a top 25 value. I am not suggesting anything, but I can tell you, the University of Oregon has some modicum of value, albeit misguided and skewed.

I think I would like to have the University of Washington's athletic value, not to mention UCLA.

Forbes is also the magazine that year evaluates the value of Pro Sports franchises for cities and yearly comes up with they are in the big picture, money losers for cities.

PS...I take Forbes so I am not down on this...just think this is silliness.

Oregon has an almost endless honey pot. They figure profit, which really can't be figured because they are non profit.

Where they miss with FSU is the Seminole Boosters, Inc are a private organization. They have all of the concessions, parking fees, apparel and Nike contracts..etc.
A lot of the program's money routes through the Seminole Boosters.

Agreed. This is complete silliness IMO. I would think that FSU has more sales in clothing alone than all of Wyoming's "rev-new" sources.

Yeah, but would you much rather be a cowboy or an Indian?

[billybud]

Cowboys have casinos?
