Ryan Brewer, an assistant professor of finance at Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus, calculated the intrinsic valuations for 115 of the teams in the top-tier Football Bowl Subdivision. Among other factors, the study looked at each program's revenues and expenses and made cash-flow adjustments, risk assessments and growth projections for each school. The resulting figures represent what the teams might fetch if they could be bought and sold like pro franchises. (As a point of reference, the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars sold in late 2011 for about $760 million.)

This ranking is automatically made suspect by USC's place on the list.

Why? It's about cash flow. And it's not like we're paying players or building facilities.

Perfect! It's almost to the penny what we'll need for our collateral on facility upgrades.

CU and uw are rated so high because all the 420 sales?

There is so much hypothetical in this kind of analysis you can consider it pure dogs***t.

 

[Liver]

i do wonder if this is based upon a free cash flow analysis or if some amount of goodwill/brand equity is built in? whatever-- it is all just spitballin' material, nothing more.

 

[RalphieSpeaks]

Might be accurate.

As it says it represents what a team might get if it could be sold like an NFL team. The University has a good setup but has not been invested in properly. A potential buyer would probably look at this and think that with the right investment this thing would be a valuable asset.

As Neuheisel said we have everything money can't buy. If someone bought all the things money could buy....well then.....

There's no way USC is worth less than CU or UW or even Oregon. I'm not sure how this guy found the numbers to justify this, but there's no way in the hypothetical world would someone pay more for any of those three than USC.

Well...until you can prove otherwise with numbers I'm going with this :thumbsup:

Assistant professor at IUPUC. With more stellar reports like this, that Sr. Assistant Professor title isn't too far away.
