Wow. That's some good company the Hogs are sharing. Poor lil' ol' Arkansas my fanny.

Interesting that we're worth more then NikeU, TAMU and USC-W.

It's kinda silly to value something you can't sell but with profits of $33 million a year the program is worth way more than 80 million.  If it was a business it might be worth close to a billion.

When selling a business in a lot of cases you use the "rule of four" by taking four years worth of earnings. Assuming you want to go by this model you can make an argument that the program is worth around $130M.

I'd love to get 25% return on my investments.

I'd sure expect to get more than 3.3% return on my $1B investment.

Poor little Arkansas...............NOT.

[SooiecidetillNuttgone]

This is cool and all, but how is this going to translate to recruiting which is the weakest aspect of our fine coaching staff?

That's probably exactly what you'd get in today's market.
