it's the off season which means there will be tons of mindless articles ranking teams by using various imperfect measurements for our reading pleasure/pain, here's one from the WSJ. Enjoy.

I'm surprised to see kent not only last, but also nearly 1/2 as much as the next MAC school.

Bang for the buck.

That's actually a pretty big surprise for me as well, not what i expected at all

points to the silliness of these kind of lists. how does Ohio lose 20% of its value in 1 year, and how does Akron gain 37%? What changed for these programs that is that significant?

I kind of wonder what those three injuries cost Kent State in this ranking.

Ohio and Akron's Men's BB programs are almost worth as much as #102 Notre Dame's program

What can I do to get people to click on my site? I know, come up with an arbitrary list that ranks things people care about in an order that is tough to quantify. We can start with real data and then say we use that data to formulate some kind of conclusion and rank these things accordingly. Then grab a handful and move them around to promote discussion and watch the clicks accumulate.

And what did Kent State do to this guy?

What throws me off is Kent tends to draw well based upon MAC standards. I assumed ticket revenue would be a huge factor in this.
