SEC Dominance Extends Beyond the Field

They say "it just means more" in the SEC, and that's true on and off the gridiron! Even without a recent national championship, the SEC's power, especially with Texas and Oklahoma joining, is arguably at an all-time high.

That strength isn't just on the field; it's in the bank, too.

Most Valuable Programs

The Athletic just dropped its rankings of the most valuable college football programs, and the SEC is all over the top 10! Imagine wealthy firms bidding on these teams like they do in pro sports. Who comes out on top?

The Billion-Dollar Club

Texas Longhorns lead the way as the only program valued above $2 billion, coming in at a staggering $2.3 billion. Georgia Bulldogs are close behind at just under $2 billion, with Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Michigan rounding out the top five.

SEC Strong

But wait, there's more! Alabama Crimson Tide (No. 6, $1.74 billion), Oklahoma Sooners (No. 7, $1.49 billion), Tennessee Volunteers (No. 9, $1.37 billion), and LSU Tigers (No. 10, $1.23 billion) make up four of the remaining five teams in the top ten.

Let's hope programs never actually get bought and sold, but these hypothetical valuations are definitely interesting!
