BCS: How Much Is Your College-Football Team Worth? - WSJ.com

I'll take being worth nearly $225 mill and a Rose Bowl win over being worth $732 mill and getting blown out of the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. What do I care what the team is worth as long as they are putting out a quality product?

Wonder if they are still worth that much?

Chart is a year old, done before that blowout and before the risk of a new AD and coach at Texas.

Don't think that it is going to be that huge of a difference. Texas and Michigan have been the most valuable names for a long time. He can keep his valuable team, I would prefer to keep my producing team (know it won't be long til we are in the middle of the B1G standings again).

yeah, won't change much but the article is still old. One year won't have a big effect, but worth noting.

I laughed at the ND and BYU comment. I know it is because it calls out "major conference", but at first read it came across as "major college football programs, plus ND and BYU"

You're focused on the wrong thing. Dollar signs are all that matters... not records. The big ten just took in Maryland and Rutgers. Do you think that has anything to do w/making the big ten better and more competative?

They are 56th and 63rd on the chart of 69 schools. Don't think that they are bringing that much more into the conference and once you start cutting the bowl money into even smaller pieces, it won't be a wise decision.

The focus was on television, not bowl games or anything else. Signing those teams allows the BIG to tap into that market and I don't know exact numbers, but I believe they reached a multi-billion dollar deal w/cable providers... the BIG network being a big part of it. West Virginia would have brought more to table for us fans, but there's no money in that area... hence money drives all in sports.

that hand reaching in your back pocket and stealing your wallet is the BIG!!! I don't blame them though.. cable has pissed me off for years. I hate being forced to pay for countless channels that I will never watch.
