Ohio State is the most valuable college football program, according to the Wall Street Journal.
It’s not surprising the Buckeyes are at the top of the college football world when it comes to money. They are a massive university, with tons of Big Ten money, very wealthy boosters and massive television contracts.
The shocking part is that Alabama is valued at nearly $600 million less than Ohio State, despite having won four national championships since 2009.
Ohio State – $1,510,482,000
Texas – $1,243,124,000
Oklahoma – $1,001,967,00
Alabama $930,001,000
Louisiana State – $910,927,000
Michigan – $892,951,000
Notre Dame – $856,938,000
Georgia – $822,310,000
Tennessee – $745,640,00
Auburn – $724,191,000
Sometimes people don’t seem to realize the amount of money behind massive college football programs. It’s unbelievable the resources the top schools in the country have.
