But UCF is valued in Mickey mouse dollars

Did you know that Disney World use to have/sell/use/cash "Disney Dollars" which could be used at any Disney World store/shop/resort? They were equivalent to a US Dollar but many Disney Tourists would just keep them and not spend them which meant almost 99% profit back to Disney for a "piece of paper" that couldn't be spent anywhere else.

I remember that. I may even still have some. Haha.

Maybe Memphis has some Dolly Dollars stashed away. My mattress is stuffed with them.


I know...the Hillbilly Disney World is at the other end of the state.

So where's Tulsa, Tulane (SMU listed) & Navy (Army listed)?

Did the WSJ article mention the methodology used in arriving at those numbers?

Let's be honest. No one who posts here has a subscription to the Wall Street Journal.

The paywall had a few breaks in it via MSN

"The study broke down each program’s most recently available revenues and expenses, from 2016, making cash-flow adjustments, risk assessments and growth projections. Across the sport, the value of Football Bowl Subdivision teams spiked by 26% over the 2015 numbers, the product of cash flows that rose 24% and revenues that grew by 19%."

Which explains the 115, some schools just dont make those numbers public.

Can't speak about the others, but Navy's PRIVATELY funded athletic department rarely shares that sort of information with the press.

Tulsa is the same, numbers get out but they dont generally make them pubic.
