FWIW, Duke Basketball is worth $370 million (second only to UNC)
OTOH Stanford basketball is worth $85 million (good for 56th) and better than Berkeley ($68 mm) or SMU ($57 mm) but not as much as Georgia Tech ($88 mm)

BTW, vis a vis the House settlement discussion, it sounds like it is headed towards approval: https://www.espn.com/college-sports/stor...t-concerns

However, the judge did ask for a number of things to be addressed, including what to do about roster spots.  Wilken (the judge) seemed to suggest that it might be a good idea if the settlement were amended to grandfather in existing players so that no one loses their place on the team if the settlement is approved and some players would put a team above the roster limit.

Terrifying that one octogenarian who knows next to nothing about college sports is singlehandedly in charge of (re)designing our entire college sports landscape. For all that there have been efforts to wrest control of decisions away from judges, it has boggled my mind how she's kept complete control over this issue for going on 15 years now.

Kinda describes our entire jury/trial system, doesn't it, depending as it does on 12 commonfolk who can't get out of jury duty...
