ISU checks in at #41.

Rep to whoever tells me the teams I care about

 

[Tornado man]

Iowa the 12th-most valuable college football program in the country? IOWA?

 

[dtISU]

We hit the list at #41. Much higher than I imagined.

 

[Clark]

That list is interesting. Not sure I buy Iowa making 8 million more a year in football revenue than Nebraska. Not sure when Nebraska gets full share of the Big 10 tv revenue so maybe that's the difference.

Still, when valuing a program you should take that into account considering they'll get their full share soon if they haven't already.

Paul needs to start winning. He has a big machine behind him.

Iowa's AD makes a ******** of cash.

Can we sell our program and use the proceeds to buy Baylor or TCU's program?

Could afford both TCU and West Virginia. I'd take it.
