Forbes: Best and Worst Teams for the Money

[Wild Turkey]

Yes, he cherry picked data specifically to make Auburn look bad.

No he picked a sample size, ran the numbers and was too lazy to question his conclusion. It's sloppy journalism.

 

[Bamabino]

Oh No! Everyone is out to get Barner Fife!

 

[theboardref]

Auburn is listed as one of the worst teams for the money = Fail

Agreed, Cam's salary wasn't that high and he nearly single handedly got Auby a national title.

 

[The Crimson King]

He's done it the same way for the past three years. Auburn was 10th worst last year at ~3.6 mil per win

 

[Wild Turkey]

No Auburn's numbers for his chosen sample made the articles more "interesting" and gave him a "bang". I really don't see any negative effect on Auburn as whole because his premise is laughable.

 

[Wild Turkey]

Considering the "salary" was zero as confirmed by the NCAA compliance investigation you would be technically correct.

If it is an annual event then using a 3 year sample makes more sense and will concede the point.

No. I'm sure his sole purpose is to put down Auburn.

Your streak continues.

Your streak continues.

What streak is that? Two Bama fans point out what the article is about and you finally concede only after an Auburn fan explains it to you?

No the Auburn fan pointed out it was an annual event that was not mentioned by anyone posting nor was it evident reading the article. If it was stand alone and one time event then it would still be flawed.

Don't claim credit for something you didn't do. I know as a Bammer it comes natural but please resist if you can.

 

[The Crimson King]

He also doesn't include conference championship game wins or bowl games. Shouldn't those count as more?

I dunno.

But I thought the biggest flaw was counting all wins as being even. Winning X amount of games at Cincy isn't quite the same as winning the same amount of games in the SEC/Pac12/Big12 etc.

I read the article and deduced the 3-year parameter. What do I know though. I'm unintelligent.

LMAO...No you didn't but that's ok if it makes you feel good typing it anyway.

I thought of that also but weighting the wins/loses would be tough to do.

Better quit while you're far behind Barner Fife.



"For the first time in our three years studying college football’s most cost-efficient teams, Kansas State is not on top."



"The Bearcats rank among the sport’s lowest spenders, but only 12 teams have won more games over the last three seasons."

So from what I'm gathering ITT:

4 years - proper amount of data

3 years - irresponsible journalism
