Geoff Swaim For the third season in a row, Texas remains the only team with revenue over $100 million.

With the transition to new football head coach Charlie Strong and his staff, net income was down to $74 million. Despite this surge in expenses, Texas is still worth 7 percent more than any other team in college football.

Forbes measures college football team’s value based on four key areas: athletic department, university, conference and local community. The heaviest weight is applied to money that goes toward academic programming, including football scholarships and direct contributions to university initiatives. Athletic value is the remaining football profit that goes toward supporting non-revenue sports such as Olympic sports. Conference and community are comprised of money earned from playing in bowl games and the economic impact generated by home football games.
