Georgia is holding steady in the annual value rankings released by Forbes. Each year the magazine ranks how much the top programs in Division I-A are worth. This year, like last, Georgia finished third. According to Forbes, Georgia's program is worth $90 million. That's up from $84 million last year.

Notre Dame and Texas led the list just like last season. The SEC has eight in the top 20 with Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Kentucky and
Mississippi State missing the cut.

The Big Ten has five teams with Michigan leading the way at $85
million. The Big 12 has four teams in the top 20 — Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas A&M. The Pac-10 has two teams in the
top 20 — Southern Cal and Washington.

DawgSpeare: Applachian State beat Michigan in Ann Arbor. What's the Program Value of Applachian State???? It's nice to have a rich athletic assoc. and Georgia is blessed in that regard, but we lost to both Kentucky and Vandy last year and they were not in the top 20 money wise. DawgDoc

\"Blind hog theory\" last year.

Notre Dame being that high is a joke

I had never seen or heard anything like this associated w/ amateur sports. That's why I wanted to post this article. It really surprises me that GA is the third highest ranked program in terms of estimated monetary value. Here we are ranked over programs like Michigan, UF, FSU, OSU, USC, Cal, etc. Surpises me. But I'll take it. I like to see UGA ranked no. 1 in everything!

You mean to tell me that for a mere $90M I could own the Dawgs? That would be awesome!!
