Ducks barely made the cut.

Top 20 most valuable college football teams in 2026 - Yahoo Sports

The Huskies’ move to the Big Ten has been a financial masterstroke, providing the program with a level of visibility and cash flow it never had in the Pac-12. Following a strong season where they competed for a quarterfinal spot, Washington has established itself as the premier football brand in the Pacific Northwest. The valuation of $1.147 billion reflects a team that has successfully navigated the big move without losing its competitive edge on the field.

The "premier football brand in the Pacific Northwest"? Is the author smoking something?

So maybe they will be bought out by corporations now?

I'm pretty sure it's crack 🤣🤣🤣

After close losses in his first two seasons as a head coach, DL has his foot firmly on the neck of "the premier football brand in the Northwest." As long as he stays at Oregon, statements like the quote above will be seen as the obvious dog poo they are. How can you possibly be "the premier brand" when you can't beat your closest rival?
