Yet again.

Most valuable college football programs

The list is just about every single SEC school to include the newcomers of aggy. However, they were towards the back of the list but still elite in the country. Then the BIG was well represented with many schools to include newly departed from the Big 12, Nebraska. The only two in our conference were us and OU. OSU was displaced this year, I think by Iowa but I forget and don't want to go look again.

Interesting.

Wow. Considering going 12-12 the past two years, a minor bowl this year, Texas still comes in with a top value of $129 million. As the Forbes article points out this year's value doesn't include any boost starting next year with the $300 million over 20 years LHN contribution (that's just the ESPN contract; not sure what additional advertising revenues Texas might gain from that).

I'd also guess that 2012 should be a better bowl revenue year for Texas; not just maybe a better bowl, which is shared with other Big 12 schools, we swap Mizzou and eAtMe with TCU and WVU which should be as good or better bowls than those leaving teams.

Now if all that money and top-ranked recruiting classes would translate into a BCS bowl or better yet BCS title game.

LIke Fallon says in the TV ad: "EVERBODY wants more money, right?" better than less money.
