without Dave Brandon and his crack marketing staff around to peddle our block M to the highest bidders?  So glad those other insignificant assets - current/former players, students, alumni, excellence and tradition - have helped keep our value high.

LSU and Oklahoma make little sense to me. Both are at best slightly outside major metro areas. LSU doesn't have much in terms long-running historic value/assets. Neither are attached to somewhat strong academic schools that bring in the big money donors/fans.

Damn, not to be a dick just because Ohio state is a pile of shit and maybe I feel this way because Ohio state is a pile of shit but their marketing and logos are awful. Do you ever look at something like a Tampa Bay buccaneers hat and think, damn that would suck to like that team? That hat looks like shit. That's seriously how Ohio state stuff looks. Stupid logo, average color scheme that's pretty boring and shitty intangibles. Cool, your logo is basically a chocolate nut. Dumb.

If I have a business - I can sell that.  Which makes it relatively easy to assign a value to my business.  Same for a house, a car, a piece of land, or a collection of baseball cards.  I can also sell my services, I have value in that respect too.

Can't exactly sell a college football program.

The value of a college football team, it seems to me, is really in the revenue produced.  That alone (or that VERY heavily weighted) should really be the metric, right?

Associate Professor at Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus?  Total enrollment was 1628 in 2009. Colors:  Black, Red, Crimson, Old Gold. Now this seems like a reliable source for this type of article.

Not convinced of the findings. Show me the work, to authenticate the rankings. 1.5 billon for osu vs 300+ millon for clemson. Oh yeah I have the most valuable trampaline in my neighborhood its worth 1.2 millon more than my neighbors, because we have more 6 year old total jumps in the last year?? I know its a big suprise last year it was only worth 600 thousand. What a jump, in estmated cost!
