Texas, Michigan, and Notre Damn are the top 3. The list continues for the top 20. Just click on the slideshow.Our college football valuations use a weighted scoring system to measure the value created for four key areas. The four components, in order of weight, consist of each team's 1. value to its university (football profit contributed to academic programming, including football scholarships), 2. value to its athletic department (football profit that supports other athletic initiatives), 3. value to its conference (distribution of bowl game revenue) and 4. value to the surrounding community (estimated spending by visitors on days of home games). Financial data is from the 2011-12 fiscal year, and we standardize revenues and expenses in order to account for differences in each school's method of reporting financial information to the Department of Education.
