Agree. Also USC is in a pro sports town. When they're good they bring in the ticket revenue but when they're bad or mediocre, there are bigger events in LA that people will watch. That has to diminish their value somewhat.

Looks like the FAA agreed.

Why are bear's shoes different from all the other animal's?

Because, even when they wear shoes, they still walk in bear feet.

ah yeah that is a nice multi-million dollar asset. I think that's the same way the Washington was usually one of the most valuable NFL franchises

Whoever made that decision if true is going to be crucified.

AI Overview
The Kansas football program is considered valuable due to its long history, recent resurgence in success, dedicated fan base, and significant investments in facilities, which have led to a growing national reputation and increased interest from potential sponsors and television networks, even though it hasn't always been a top-tier program in the past.

It's an inactive ready reserve commitment, which barring a war, means they get contacted once a year with no actual service

These are the rankings from WSJ that Bar linked above. The calculation was supposedly based off what the programs would sell for if they were sold like pro franchises, but they seem basically made up to me.

USC is at 24 right behind Illinois (?!) at 23. Miami is at 40.

I love VT as much as any of us, but there's not a single metric or factor you could tell me where i would say yeah we're a bigger brand than USC

If CBB truly had anything to do with a "most valuable CFB programs" list, then we'd also see UK, Duke, and UNC in here. But we don't. Which brings me back to - why is Kansas here??

Why is Kansas #17??? residual from their fucking shell game hoops program with a cult of fans. They haven't had a legitimate college player on that team in decades- but now everyone can have pros.

Two things:

  1. I'm very curious about how they evaluated this. Why is Kansas #17? Are FSU and Clemson low because of the lawsuit? Where is Miami? I'm stunned Oregon and Alabama are so low and USC isn't even listed.
  2. Is anyone else irrationally annoyed that the top 10 are listed by row then column, but 11-25 are the opposite?

I have seen at least one report that stated the other controller was sent home to save money. Whoever made that decision if true is going to be crucified.

Their flight path was at the recommended altitude a plane on approach to that runway would be at the distance from the runway that the collision took place. I don't care if the incoming plane had to change runways, if the runway was open, you have to keep that corridor clear to prevent the possibility of something like this happening.

Again, safety above all else, and this wasn't safe.
