College Athletic Dept Values according to CNBC

The programs are worth a combined $51.22 billion, 13% more than the top 75 in last year's rankings.

was just about to post this. 20th, from 25th last year. 18% revenue increase: pretty good. while we're not at the top, this should dispel the lingering notion that we're a poverty program (fully understand that this is about Athletic Department revenues, not specific programs and that NIL budgets are a different animal altogether).

it does give me great pleasure that we're 10 spots above Miznoz

USC coach Lincoln Riley blames Notre Dame for ending 96-year rivalry with shocking scheduling change

The USC-Notre Dame college football rivalry won't return in 2026, and Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley is pointing the finger at the Fighting Irish.

I don't really care who is at fault here, but I find myself siding with USC(it makes my back cringe) only because I still think it's an absolute farce that Notre Dame doesn't have to to join a conference and is in fact, rewarded for not doing so starting next year.

ND didnt want to play them in weeks 0-4.
only wanted to play them in weeks 7-13.

as is , ND can cherry pick how & when they play 80% of their schedule . it definately means an extra W or two every year .

SEC & B1G schools should never schedule them.
then see how long they stay independent

Yep - they've always been able to "stack" their schedule in a way where the heavy hitter opponents are scattered throughout the year most years. They did kind of go against that this year by starting with Miami & TX A&M back to back. But normally they'll play a big opponent followed by Navy, Marshall & Ball State then another big boy followed by Purdue, Stanford, etc. No one else has that scheduling flexibility once conference play hits.

They gave up 68 points to two playoff teams that scored a combined 13 points when those two played each other....

They can sulk all they want... but you're right. Their back end of rhe schdule wasn't luck, or anything close to coincidence, aside from the USC game, which they're abandoning.

I hope this BYU team they dodged and think is beneath them whoops them good next year.

Just as reference I pulled up their schedule from the 1993 season. 10-1 reg season with only a loss to Boston College. Won Cotton Bowl vs TX A&M

NW
@Michigan
Mich State
@Purdue
@Stanford
Pitt
@BYU
USC
Navy
Fl State
BC

Kind of a representative sample. A few more "names" then vs now but they kind of stacked it. An easy one before Mich & some scattered ok/decent teams before Fl State. USC was kind of down in that time frame also after John Robinson & before Pete Carroll. NW was just before Barnett turned them around but NW, Purdue, Stanford & Pitt were all pretty blah in that time frame. Navy was way down.
