Study: Michigan football program with $892 million, sixth-best nationally

If you could put a number on what the Michigan football program was worth, if it sold on the open market, what would it be?

About $892 million sound, give or take a few bucks.

That's the analysis of Ryan Brewer, an associate professor of finance at Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus. Brewer conducted a study on what each college football team would be worth if it could be sold on the open market, like a pro sports team.

The Wolverines came in sixth-best nationally.

Ohio State was tops at $1.5 billion, one of three programs topping $1 billion.
