The Wall Street Journal published a study by a professor at Indiana University Columbus that ranks the values of different university basketball programs.
The values are supposed to estimate what the programs would be worth if they could be bought and sold like professional sports teams.
Revenues and free cash flow are cited.
The Stanford men's program comes in as the 56th most valuable men's program with an estimated value of $85M. They list that the program took in $13.7M in revenue and generated $2.972M in free cash flow.
UNC men's program was #1 at $378M and Duke was #2 at $370M. Indiana was #3 and the value dropped all the way to $279M.
On the women's side, Stanford was 4th at $74M, trailing UConn ($95M), South Carolina ($86M) and Baylor ($77M).
The program has an annual adjusted revenue of $11.4M.
These studies are usually lacking a lot of data and, as a result, tend to be very weak analytically but I thought I'd share.
