It's 'Friday'

So I though I would post something that may be of mild interest to Nebraska fans. A Forbes report listing the Top 20 Most Valuable College Football Programs was recently published. Notre Dame is, of course, at the top of the list as the most profitable. The Irish are listed at a total value of $101 million and netting a profit of $45.8 million. Plenty to buy Charlie Weiss out of his contract.

Our team is ranked 18th overall between the Washington Huskies and Michigan State Spartans. The team is valued at $49 million and it's profitability is listed at $12.4 million. I like how the caption just says that Bill Callahan "refused to step down at Nebraska despite being asked to do so by university officials." Pretty neat.

Three other Big 12 schools were ranked ahead of Nebraska. The schools are listed as Texas(#2), Oklahoma (#11) and Texas A&M (#16) in that order.
