I never paid attention to this when first posted, but isn’t the “latest” list offered in the article a Forbes list from 2019?

From this link residing in the piece HUABS linked

Article is dated July 4, 2022, no? 

The Volswire article is from yesterday, but as UTEE posted, the data seems to be a few years old. Why the Vols dude decided the old news was worthy of a new article, who knows.

Latest FORBES most valuable program rankings are out.  A&M and Texas #1 and #2.

 How is Clemson #25 after so much success? How is Arkansas more valuable than USC?

 

Probably the biggest single differentiator in there, after TV revenue, is sales of licensed products. Texas is at a disadvantage on TV revenue compared to SEC schools, so is USC and the rest of the PAC12.  After that, it's sales of licensed stuff.

USC just isn't that big a brand, anymore, if it ever was.  Clemson never was.  Arkansas has the SEC head start, plus they sell a lot of gear to all the arkies.

Also, the Forbes list cited, that makes up the bulk of the article, is from 2019 and averages the prior three years.

I guess the headline provides the reasoning, that because of the shakeups in realignment, they wanted to take a look at the various schools' financial value and viability.  But since the data's so old, it's really not particularly illuminating.
