So how do we have more revenue than Rutgers? And UCLA (maybe lower revenue share for a period)? Even Indiana? Heck we are only a couple mill less than IL.
Based on the discussion on the basketball board, it sounds like we're saving a bunch of money skimping on the jalapenos for the nachos.

Most of the revenue is share of Big Ten media rights. A few blue chips have huge fan bases and the additional support that comes with them. The remaining plebeians are living off conference revenue. RU and UCLA are not yet drawing full shares.

I’m shocked no one else has stated the obvious:

Pat Ryan is gifting NU an $800M football stadium.

How is our valuation not inclusive of that??

Rutgers and UCLA are insanely broke. Rutgers has shockingly low revenue.

Good question - I haven't read the article, but are the capital assets part of the "valuation"?

Me neither.

if I don’t subscribe to The Rock for $60, there’s no way in hell I’m paying for a subscription to a newspaper 😆

Although after The Economist and the Rock, WSJ would likely be #3 for my subscription dollars.

Now if Lou brought back the Rant board for only premium members it’d be a slam dunk. The bullying can be worse on the Rock, but having a premium RB would make up for it. 👍

You’re in rarefied air, @lou v
