That's not bad, considering what an absolute clusterfuck the football team has been in recent years.

I'm a little surprised to see USC so far down the list. Behind Arkansas and Auburn? Looks like Forbes is putting a lot of value on the draw of the SEC.

UW's overall athletic program must still rely solely on Husky Football for surplus revenue to cover for general lack of support for Olympic sports and that situation should get better as the football program moves back into the Top-10..... or at least that's what we should expect. AD Woodward now must do something permanent for the long term to get Husky Basketball moving upward again with a serious review of both the BB coaching and that expensive facility mistake. Time to begin unscrewing the Barbara Hedges fuck-ups.

 
This is what the Iron Laws are all about. Seriously. All we need is a coach

You could say that for anyone, we've been telling you that for years that the Iron Laws don't mean fucking shit. It's all about the head coach.

I'm not at all surprised you misinterpreted the data to fit your bullshit doog agenda.

So WSU or Oregon State could become Alabama or Texas with the right coach?

Not Alabama but if UW had the right coach I don't think we could be what Alabama is.

As for Texas? You could argue Oregon State has reached their level in the past four seasons.

Oregon State had a great coach and was top 5 in the nation in 2000, had a solid coach and have been a solid program for a decade.

WSU with Leach will probably be a consistent bowl team as well.

I should have said just said Alabama.

So all programs are equal, the only variable is the quality of the coach?

What "Iron Laws" does Stanford or Oregon have/had(in Oregon's case) besides having a good coach?

Face it your Iron Laws is bullshit.

Disagree.

this is about money.

and Wazzu will never have the money of a Texas or Alabama, the donor base just won't let it.

If what you say is true, Oregon should be in the top 5 ... factually speaking ... they just don't have the booster juice. They are Phil Knight, when he dies ... it is over for them.

Winning with the right coach is what it is all about.

But to be an elite program you the booster base, location, and sustainability.

Disagree? You basically just repeated what I said. I never said WSU or Oregon State can be an elite program but did point out with good coaches they can consistently be a bowl team.

Hell Oregon State if you had a playoff back in 2000 probably wins the national title two years after having like 28 straight losing seasons.

I just look at teams like Oregon, Stanford, Baylor, Boise State, TCU, Wisconsin, Michigan State in recent years who have all had great success recently and none match Auburn's Bullshit "Iron Laws".
 
The rules:

Texas has been college football’s most valuable team since 2009, when it usurped Notre Dame’s top spot with a value of $119 million. The team’s unprecedented value is built on the back of the nation’s most dedicated fan base, which has helped Texas lead all schools in merchandise sales, secure the most lucrative school-specific TV deal and become the only college football team in history to cross $100 million in revenue, which the Longhorns have done for the last two seasons.

Last year Texas had income of $109 million; no other team made more than $90 million. The biggest source of revenue was ticket sales, which contributed $34.5 million last season, an increase of more than $2 million from the previous year. Texas football also collected $30 million from contributions and another $15 million from Big 12 and NCAA distributions.

I believe ... only 3 schools in the Pac can meet the three highlighted areas on a regular basis ...

SC, UCLA, Washington

Maybe Oregon ... I just don't think they have the donor base capabilities outside of the obvious.
