WSJ: Top 50 Most Valuable College Basketball Programs

[49r]

12 of 14 B1G hoops programs make the list.  Northwestern clocks in at #23, yet Nebraska doesn't make the list at all?

Penn State at #30 is just as much of a puzzler.

What was the ranking a year ago for NU?

Does this mean we should join that Occupy Wall Street movement? And where is this open market where college basketball teams are bought and sold? How is this value calculated; is it the physical value of the facilities minus the salaries of those who work for the organization, and the money sat aside to bribe players to come ( how can Louisville possibly lead in that case)? Is it the number of  new students who enroll so they can attend basketball games and the top professors who want to come because of the cheap tickets? Are the number of hot dogs consumed and the number of $7 beers consumed by each fan a factor? Is this value set by world demand for the product or just in the US? Who are the gurus who decide all of these things, and have they ever actually seen a basketball game? I'm confused, but that is not unusual.
