1. The ACC's numbers are just paltry as a whole.

2. The SEC is far and away #1.

3. The Big 12 is nipping at the Big Ten's heels. The average is very similar.

It's interesting that Oklahoma dropped from the 3 member 1 Billion dollar impact club and Alabama which was very close last year jumped in. Still just 3 schools to reach that plateau.

It just makes it even clearer as to why if the SEC landed OU and Texas it would never be caught. And it highlights the Big 10's need and desire to close that gap with the same two products. I hope that even makes it clearer as to why considering Tech and Oklahoma State to ensure the move would be worth it. Also, I strongly suspect that the revenue totals listed are not Gross Revenue Totals and have been adjusted. I get those from the tax reports filed with Equity in Athletics. They'll be out in May. The WSJ's valuation numbers are apple to apples and I really appreciate the work.

I think Ohio State also lost a good bit of value although they stayed in the $1 billion range.

With Texas Tech and Oklahoma State, both of those products are in the top 35. That would put them in the lower 1/3 of the SEC in values, but the SEC value is so high that that doesn't really encapsulate the situation.

Even if you average the totals of Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech and compare it to the SEC average, it doesn't take into account what the domination of that football crazy region of 33 million would be worth to us, or the added value that an SEC branding on that product would have.

I definitely like the concept. The football only value is useful to see as well. When the WSJ basketball valuations come out adding that value to the school's total valuation would help as well.


UT/OU/OSU/TTU= 558,854,879
SEC Average= 535,137,001

So we could take all four and obviously add more value that just the small % shown here in the raw numbers.
