Forbes released its annual look at the most valuable programs in college football on Wednesday
1. Texas - $139 million 2. Notre Dame - $117 million 3. Alabama - $110 million 4. LSU - $105 million 5. Michigan - $104 million 6. Florida - $94 million 7. Oklahoma - $92 million 8. Georgia - $91 million 9. Ohio State - $83 million 10. Nebraska - $80 million 11. Auburn - $77 million 12. Arkansas - $74 million 13. USC - $73 million 14. Texas A&M - $72 million 15. Penn State - $71 million 16. Wisconsin - $70 million 17. Washington - $66 million 18. South Carolina - $65 million 19. Oregon - $64 million 20. Tennessee - $63 million
Let's see. Miami isn't on a list with Oregon, Wisconsin, ARKANSAS, and SOUTH CAROLINA! Miami has
> won 5 MNCs, has been fucked out of 2 others, and has played for 3 or 4 others,
> has won every BCS bowl game but the Fiesta, which they played in twice for title games,
> has had more NFL impact than any other program including USC, setting records for most consecutive years with a 1st round pick, 1st and 2nd all-time in terms of most 1st rounders in a draft, etc. etc. etc. They have redefined this element of what a "program" is.
> has a record home winning streak, at one point won 19 in a row on the road, has knocked off more #1 ranked teams than most any other program in the modern era, and has been involved in numerous epic, classic, historical games
> is putting players in the HOF like it's a normal thing
> established traditions that are now being mimicked all over the place, including having illustrious alumni work closely with the program and coming back to mentor and work out with the players.
> has a huge "brand" and name recognition (much as that makes me throw up in my mouth, the Oregon people have been proven right about this - your name and image matter, and always has)
what am I missing here? ok, fine, I'm willing to swallow johnny come lately Florida and their 3 titles and miserable bowl record. but A&M? Arkanfuckingsas? South Carofuckinglina? Wisconsin? Oregon?
fuck, even Georgia, Auburn, Tennessee, Penn State and Washington are stretches over Miami. They would be stretches over Florida State for similar reasons to Miami, only less of them.
let me tell what makes this list stoopid right off the bat so that a blind whore could figure it out: Arkansas and Georgia are ranked over USC. it's like a top 20 list of law schools that puts Harvard at #17 and Gonzaga at #1. It means by definition that list is dumb.
but if this gives doog nation another reason to stroke itself, by all means. stroke away.
Iron laws. There's that dumb thing again. Miami has no $$ at all, which is why they're not on this list, and their history kicks the shit out of all but a handful.

Yeah but they had the dude bra train going at full steam. 900 jerseys, Lebron James goes to their games, at least 1 imaginary National Title, Pink Clits for helmets for breast-cancer awareness. So many toolbags in SW WA walk around with their gear not knowing what a total shit-hole Eugene even is.
The ONLY reason Miami is not in the top 20 in revenues is that it is a small private school with a small alumni base. USC is private too, but they have twice as many students and play in a metro area 4 times the size as Miami (with no NFL team).
Miami lacks money and non-bandwagon fans, but it makes up for it by being one of the most geographically blessed campuses in the country for football. In other words, the exact opposite of Pullman, WA.

what Iron Law are they missing? and does it matter? (the latter question is 100% rhetorical).
