Arkansas Football is among the top 20 most valuable programs in the nation

College football is a huge business, and usually turns a huge profit year in and year out.

College football programs earn money in a handful of ways, from media contracts to revenue sharing between teams in a program’s conference, even from overwhelming support from their loyal fanbases.

GoBankingRates recently compiled a list of college football programs that have brought in the most money over a three-year span according to Forbes. Among those programs? The Arkansas Razorbacks.

The Razorbacks rank 16th among the top-25 most valuable programs in the nation by reeling in $95M annually, and will continue to climb the ranks says GoBankingRates:

This number will continue to rise under the direction of Sam Pittman, who took a dormant SEC program and pushed the Razorbacks to eight wins in Year 2. An Outback Bowl win would go a long way in continuing this team’s momentum into 2022 and create quite the fanfare for next season.

Who are the other programs that reel in a huge profit every year? Here’s the top-20 most valuable college football programs in the country:
