The Texas Longhorns may have finished the 2013 regular season at 8-4 on the field, but the Longhorns can’t seemed to be slowed off it. According to Forbes, Longhorn football is now worth $139 million, nearly 20 percent more than any other team in the FBS.

The Longhorns have been college football’s most valuable team since 2009. Last year they had a revenue of $109 million, which is boosted by a nation-leading merchandise sales and the Longhorn Network. According to the report, Texas is the only football team to ever cross 100 million in revenue, which its done for the past two seasons.

The Longhorns’ biggest income booster is ticket sales, which brought in $34.5 million last season. Texas also brought in $30 million from contributions and $15 million from the Big 12.

Meanwhile, Texas A&M checks in at No. 14 in the list with a value of $72 million. A&M is the only newcomer on Forbes’ 2013 list.

“The Aggies’ football revenue increased by more than $9 million over the previous season, and that was despite the team hosting one fewer home game than in 2011,” the report says.

Top 10 most valuable college football teams (according to Forbes)
1.Texas – $139 million
2.Notre Dame – $117 million
3.Alabama – $110 million
4.LSU – $105 million

Keep spewing your ignorance. I have placed plenty of athletes in college, and I promise you, they and their families make their decisions based on 90% the school and its offerings versus the NFL. They know the odds of making it to the NFL are slim and none. Go survey every kid on a collegiate roster and find out how many of them think they really have a chance at going to the NFL. Maybe your eyes will be opened then.

God damn, it's like I'm talking to Big Studly on the old board

And that's all Joe Jamail, Red McCombs and the other BMD's have cared about the last 4 years. Hell, Jamail brought it up every chance that old fucker got.

They don't just give degrees away, you still have to attend class and do the work. You probably don't know that I'm guess since you haven't been to school or are 12. As I said, I've sent kids to school in other sports, some at the D1 level. I know all about collegiate sports and degrees. Go back to DeVry or IT Tech or wherever it is you go to school and make sure you learn how to hit the switch to reset the timer when you drop the fries.

You sure about that? lol

Hardly. One of us has used factual numbers and reality to make a point. The others, like you, are just saying you think Mack Brown isn't a good coach. Then you have the idiot who thinks every kid coming out of high school picks a college that is their path to the NFL. Slow99 posted what you need to know above. One coach has created a top tier, wining program while bringing in more money than any other program in the country and along the way improved graduation rates drastically. Line all of that up against any other coach, and then get back to me. I think you'll find that Mack has been and will go down as one of the top guys to ever coach a football team at a major university.

Answer me this, is Mack Brown past his prime?

and once again, quit putting words in my mouth. I have never said he wasn't a good coach. I said he wasn't a great coach. Get it right, professor

Holy, shit! LOL! I'm holding fast on DKR's 3 National titles that the NCAA just gave away back then...

Seriously, I lost a lot of faith in Mack during the "Great Garrett Gilbert experiment". I sat in the stands (I don't get to too many games anymore) during the Baylor game when UT retired Colt McCoy's jersey, then watched Baylor beat Gilbert's ass like he was a government mule.

Lmao, holy shit that guy sucked.

Maybe the worst #1 ranked high school QB ever!
