I believe those values are way more set a long time ago and are not subject to very much change now. Nebraska has been sterling for a while and they are still #12 and PSU the same at #13.

The point, it will take a long time for those "established" value teams to drop away. It will take a long time of winning (longer than FSU or Miami) for a team to be in the $300 mill club.

Saban didn't save the program, the program was still in the top grouping. He added the wins.
NbcD is an enigma. They will always have money. But most of those other teams are in the SEC. I would contend that if they were in the ACC, their value would indeed diminish over time.
