Wonder where they'd value us? (I don't know if they did.)
(Stanford #36 at $225,479,000)

Actually, the link is about the backup QB at OSU's beef with the valuation vis NCAA rules.

A recent Wall Street Journal report valued the Ohio State, Texas and Oklahoma football programs at $1.5 billion each.

And...the players don’t get paid a salary off that, at all.

The college football season is in full swing and the picture for this year’s College Football Playoff is still as jumbled as it was in February. But there’s one question we can answer: Which team is the most valuable?

That would be Ohio State, which has surged to a $1.5 billion valuation, according to an analysis by Ryan Brewer, an associate professor of finance at Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus. That’s a 59.6% increase in value for a program that was already worth the most nationally according to the study, which analyzes what each team would be worth on the open market if sold like a professional sports franchise.

Texas ($1.24 billion) and Oklahoma ($1 billion) round out the three programs worth an estimated 10 figures. With five of the top-10 programs, the SEC has the highest average team value at $523 million, followed by the Big Ten ($416 million) and Big 12 ($376 million).
