[Husker] Most "valuable" college football programs

[David Strong]

This is interesting if you are into the business side of big college football.  Forbes magazine ranked the top twenty "most valuable" programs based on what they term "dividend money"...defined as what's left for the team's university (for academic purposes, including scholarship payments for football players) and athletic department (to support non-revenue sports) after the cost of running the football operation in question. It also includes what's generated for its conference (the distribution of bowl game revenue) and the community around the university (estimated incremental spending by visitors to the county that's attributable to the program).

There are some other criteria as well.  Here is the link to the article.
