Wow Texas is ridiculous...
Texas (805.1) made more than the following:
-The Big East (648.8)
-The MAC (277.5) + the MWC (319.2) + The Sun Belt (170.2) Combined (766.9) [29 schools]
-The Pac12 minus USC, Washington, Oregon, and Colorado (685.8)
-The Bottom 5 B1G teams (Minny, NW, Illinois, Indiana, and Purdue) 645.4
-The Bottom 5 SEC schools (South Carolina, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Miss St., Vandy) 818.4
Etc….
Basically, Texas made a boatload of money. The difference in Texas and #2 Florida (174.9) is greater than all but 27 teams Net Worth.
Always check the words with the red squiggly line. They mean you probably screwed up.

Reminds me of this Forbes article from last year illustrating the disparity in Football Revenue among Big 12 schools. The difference between #1 (Texas) and #2 (Oklahoma) was more than the total revenue of each of the bottom eight schools.
It delights me when a school like K-State beats them (especially since we never could).
Same screen name since AOL- 'cause like many Nebraska fans, I'm stuck in the '90s.
Problems with articles like these
With valuations you’re always looking at profits, but athletic departments are never interested in profits. If you’re making in a profit in athletics, you’re doing it wrong. You should be spending money to upgrade facilities or add more varsity teams. I think that throws a number of these evaluations off quite a bit.
