College Football’s Most Valuable Teams: Reigning Champion Clemson Tigers Claw Into Top 25

12 Sept 2019  |  Forbes  |  English  |  Sports Finance

The Clemson Tigers, with a history of notable victories, have seen significant financial growth following their recent athletic successes. Clemson now ranks 25th on Forbes' list of the most valuable college football teams, with an average annual football revenue of $77 million. This financial upturn is attributed to increased ticket sales, merchandise, and alumni contributions, particularly following their near-miss in the 2015-16 season. The Tigers' financial success is notable given the relatively smaller conference distributions from the ACC. Clemson's revenue streams have been bolstered by a lucrative Nike deal and high ticket prices. The article also highlights the financial standings of other top college football programs, with Texas A&M leading the list, followed by Texas, Michigan, Alabama, and Ohio State. The financial success of these programs is largely driven by broadcast deals, fan support, and alumni donations.
