Our football budget really stands out here.
For all the haters who say TCU is just another welfare program coming into the B12, take note. We just upped YOUR ante.

Beat me to it. Our football budget is listed as more than UT and more than OU.
Poor liitle TCU ain't so poor anymore.

One thing that stuck out to me is 4 of the top 7 reside in the Big 12.

Glad you were able to. I could never make it to anything but the lead-in and the story on Saban.

Yes, surprised to see the big, bad SEC with only 3 in the top 10.
Interesting note that Spurrier takes home nearly half of his school's coaching budget. Article noted that was the only category where Saban (who receives about 30% of Alabama's coaching budget) didn't lead the pack. Spurrier being so far ahead there isn't something to be proud of, as it suggests he's not looking out for his assistants.

Also, since buyouts were a big consideration in Forbes' calculation of power, I thought it interesting that the article didn't mention TCU's unusual arrangement with LHCGP in that category.
In Patterson's case, the lack of a buyout clause represents power; perhaps Forbes took that into account without mentioning it, since it works against their stated criteria.

My little paper had an article this morning where Forbes mag listed most valuable college teams in terms of their worth. Briefly, it had Texas at #1 at 133 mil. Michigan, #2 at 120 and OU #12 at 80.
Is this part of the same story? If so, can you elaborate on that aspect. Like I said, very small article.
