Texas, Notre Dame, Tennessee Top Forbes' Most Valuable College Football Teams

It's a good time to be part of the football programs at Texas, Notre Dame and, surprisingly, Tennessee because those three schools are the most valuable college football teams in 2015.

According to Chris Smith of Forbes, the Longhorns topped the rankings with a total value of $152 million and $92 million in profit; Notre Dame and Tennessee were a distant second and third with values of $127 million and $121 million, respectively.

Smith also noted that Texas' huge profit for 2015 is almost as much money as Alabama generated in revenue ($97 million), so things are going well for the Longhorns off the field even if the on-field product is coming off back-to-back losing seasons.
