5 SEC teams in the top 10.
My question is, how long before UCF claims to be the most valuable team. They could put that up on their stadium too.

Gee! With a few more donations we might could afford a football facility.

Remember when Florida was in the Top 5? Thanks Fooley.

And yet, Im told we are penniless and cant afford immediate upgrades in facilities. Must keep waiting. Maybe next decade. Maybe.

Am I reading the article wrong or is there a typo? Seems to have two different figures for UF.

138 is donations to the athletic department, Ta&m put $119 (out of 260) of their donated money in the football account, unlike Florida, which is why they are at 148 M in total revenue.

All this is very suspect. First there is no "profit" but rather a surplus, and I bet it excludes other sports. Next value comes from the balance sheet, not just the income or surplus report. Methodology counts more than just the conclusion.

The Athletic Department releases a balance sheet and reporting every year. Wouldn't doubt others do the same.

Yes but forbes seems to rank only by contributions and expenses. I seem to remember TAM totally rebuilt their stadium, and raised money for that, thus influencing their numbers.

Depends on how their accountants are depreciating the asset, similar to how we are depreciating our IPF.
