Over the years, we've seen sales for the Big 4 sports teams continue to rise drastically, with the Seattle Seahawks being sold for a record $9.612 billion earlier this month.
That has begged the question: what are the top college programs worth if they were potentially sold? The Athletic ran that exercise last year, looking at every team's revenue and inherent value based on brand power, conference value, and more.
Wisconsin came in 19th in the country last year with a valuation of $801 million, which topped schools like Iowa ($709 million), Indiana ($386 million), Arkansas ($646 million), Michigan State ($708 million), Clemson ($665 million), Minnesota ($562 million), and more.
Where did they come in the rankings this year?
Interestingly enough, the Badgers came in at No. 19 again, only this time at a valuation of $922 million, remaining one of the top powers in college athletics. That got them ahead of Florida State, which fell two spots to No. 20 at an $819 million valuation, and still ahead of Iowa, which remained at No. 21 at an $806 million valuation.
