50 Most Valuable Basketball Programs - Iowa 32nd

[khock]

Iowa comes in at 32nd ... good for 12th best in the B1G. Only Rutgers and Penn St were lower. Ouch. On the upside, ISU was 33rd.

Some of these don't make any sense. Minnesota at 16? Arkansas at 17? Alabama at 20? Northwestern/Dayton at 23/24???? Huh??

At first I thought it would be an April Fools joke type thing but it was published on March 31.

Illinois at #15 too is a bit confusing, maybe years ago during the Bill Self era.....but I doubt if they are half full most games.

The only way Iowa is ranked this high is because of Bucky, Lute & Ralph. If you did this when Lute left, the Hawks would be ranked much higher

Big East is in some trouble.

How can a basketball program make 5 times more than iowa? What is all the income from? Just donations and ticket sales?

This article makes literally no sense. There is no way on planet Earth Northwestern is 23rd for revenue in anything, especially not a sport where they've never made the NCAA tournament.
