How much are we worth?

[J C Higgins]

An article in today's online WSJ shows UT sports valuation at $1,114,000,000, 7th in the SEC.

Texas was rated highest at $2,197,000,000 so we're almost estimated to be worth $1 billion less than Texas.

A&M, LSU, UGA, Bama and OU all rated higher than UT.Auburn just below us.

Sounds a little high for Texas..........here's one from CNBC. Also has us at #7 with 1.18B and Texas at #1, but only has them at 1.4 billion. I'd say this is a little closer to the actual numbers and would think we're pretty competitive with top athletic schools. Granted now you have corporations and entities that want to buy teams so who knows how it'll look in 2 or 3 years.........I miss the 80's/90's something awful.

That's a difference of over 1 billion dollars.

That's just one part of the problem, too. Those valuations don't take into account the big driver of trouble for Tennessee - not only is Texas valued at such a higher amount, but their alumni network is believed to collectively own hundreds of billions of dollars. It's a larger network, too. Same as many northern schools that have been around longer and built larger alumni pools. Now, sure, only so many of those donate to sports. But you only need enough to stay in front, and because there's a larger network with more money, Texas can effectively spread the burden - ah, I mean, opportunity - around. You only need one Cuban or a Knight to be at the top of the mountain ... if you have a couple or can recreate that in the aggregate, well ... no one's gonna outspend you unless you let them.

Well, then, let’s sell this sucker and go on vacation.

This is why NIL must be capped like the NFL’s salary cap or it’s going to get insane.

Interesting discussion but it really doesn’t matter

I think we’re worth more and should enter the portal.

Bingo. Each team is capped at 10-15 million. Solves everything
