Football only?
Anybody can make statistics tell any story they want. Who funded the research?

I'd be interested to see the basketball numbers too, but do you really think the WSJ has a bias against the ACC and basketball in general?

Any value ranking that has UVA,NCSU & Georgia Tech ahead of UNC is flawed IMO & definitely not 40-50 million more

These numbers are predominantly based on football value. In the pinned section of this board is a thread on Total Revenue by school. It has 2 links. You will find at the bottom of that thread a post by me that breaks down the conference rankings by Total Revenue. Kansas is roughly in the same position in the Big 12 in total revenue as they are here. In most conferences basketball only reflects 15-20% of the total revenue.

But, look at both lists and the lopsided valuation for football will be reflected with minor exceptions in both lists.

NOTE: I'VE PINNED THE LINK TO REVENUE TOTALS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OP. LOOK FOR POST #10.

I was referring to football only also, their is no metric that I would use like total revenue, sponsorship, local media etc that any of the schools listed ahead of UNC generate more value. Even the biggest NCSU homer doesn't believe their football program is 40 million more valuable than UNC period.
