Arizona falls, ASU rises in 2015 college basketball valuations

The Arizona Wildcats basketball team saw a 25.3 percent dip in its team’s valuation from 2014 to 2015, according to the Wall Street Journal.

WSJ published a report on Thursday that ranked UA as the sixth-most valuable college-basketball program at $235.4 million last year. For 2014, the Wildcats were valued at $315 million.

The Wildcats lost more games (nine) this season than they had in the past four seasons, but they also made a run to the Elite Eight in last year’s NCAA Tournament.
