The Los Angeles Lakers were just sold for $10 billion, setting a new record for the largest sale of a professional sports franchise in North American history. This came after one of the Lakers’ primary rivals, the Boston Celtics, sold for $6.1 billion. Two years ago, the NFL’s Washington Commanders were sold for $6.05 billion.
College teams can’t be sold — at least not yet. In all seriousness, we don’t think that will ever happen, but enough craziness has happened that you can never say never. But what if a college football team could be sold? What would they be worth? Which “franchise” would be the most valuable?
Matt Baker of The Athletic recently explored the valuations of every Power Four team.
The most valuable? No surprise, it’s the Texas Longhorns. Baker has Texas’ projected price at $2.38 billion, with a three-year average football revenue of $183 million.
So where are the Virginia Tech Hokies?
VT came in at No. 31 on the list, with a valuation of $455 million, and a three-year average football revenue of $65 million. That’s good for No. 5 in the ACC.
Florida State
Clemson
Miami
North Carolina
Virginia Tech
North Carolina State
Louisville
Georgia Tech
Syracuse
Duke
Wait, but I thought the Hokies were poor? Remember, this is football-only revenue. Sure, maybe the Hokies aren’t worth what Texas or Alabama are, but 31st in the country is not bad. There are enough resources to be competitive.
What did you think of these numbers? Did you think the Hokies would be higher or lower? Let us know.
