UConn in Top 75 most valuable Sports Programs

[Kolumbo]

It's the same circular illogic the dude from Locked on Big 12 initially used against UConn, claiming UConn didn't rank high enough in revenue, when we know it didn't rank higher because it didn't have P4 revenue. from this article, every program starts at 4x revenue and then the value is adjusted. UConn gets dinged for not being in a valuable conference while others get a conference bonus value. If UConn were in a power conference, it's value would probably be closer to 5x revenue or about 57th place. ($93m x 5 = $465m). And since revenue would also increase in a power conference it might bump UConn up to about 30th place ($130m x 5 = $650m). And so on....

"The revenue figures are from the Department of Education’s Equity in Athletics Data Analysis and the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics for the fiscal year 2023. The list is reflective of the current enterprise value of each program, starting with a base revenue multiple of four for all institutions, and then adjusting the multiple for variables, including conference affiliation, estimated NIL spend, school subsidies, number of alumni and other factors that can catalyze future revenue growth and profitability."

Football remains our biggest opportunity. Further investment will give us a good return and benefit the whole AD.

Their methodology is so simplistic and flawed on the revenue side that I can’t believe people think it has any value. They are literally guessing on so many of their metrics.

You will walk on Mars before San Diego State actually has revenue of $105M.

Yup, doesn't even rise to the level of "fun with numbers."

Why is UVA apparently the B1G/SEC target and Tech isn't?

The SEC has The Flagship University in each member state. Kentucky, while Louisville probably has better football. And if UVA were in the SEC, that would surely change their recruiting process, if UVA wanted to. UVA and Va Tech would probably be a very good combo to grab, but at this point, it seems one school per state is the strategy.

UNC and UVA are the prime jewels because both the B1G and SEC would value them, if not for the GOR.

It’s one of the most prestigious public universities on the east coast and the USA. It’s a flagship in a large and important state.

They are an asset to whoever has them.

I lived there for four years. They have a huge fanbase that supports whether they are good or bad. I don’t know why they can’t get it together. Probably the same reasons we couldn’t do it. Just being complacent and making bad decisions.

This person saying that UVA isn’t accretive and comparing them to BC is just a troll or amazingly ignorant.
