College Football’s 25 Most Valuable Teams
College football is big business for some schools.www.gobankingrates.com
Methodology: For this piece GOBankingRates used the United States Department of Education’s “Equity in Athletics Data Analysis” (EADA) dataset to find (1) total football revenues; and (2) conference for all NCAA Division I schools all in FY19-20 data (the most recent available).
