Not sure if there is a 50 posts rule, but hopefully you all remember me from the other board.
I just saw that Forbes came out with their yearly valuation of sports franchises. The Bengals are now valued at almost $1.5 billion... that is $400 million more than last year. I guess it is good to be an NFL owner...

Ho-hum, just another half billion in equity. Still can't afford to waste money on the nonsense that is a practice facility though.

Agreed. The concept designs of practice facilities for some teams around the league look awesome. Plus have a lot of extra things for the fans during camp. Oh well, gotta make due with what's there I guess.

Doesn't really matter. It's only a hypothetical value if the team were sold today and doesn't really take into account the fact that no one is going to pay that much. When it comes down to it, something is only worth what someone else is able and willing to pay for it, and not a dime more.

Or what the owner is willing to sell it for.

Sports teams rarely come up for sale. Most times they exceed expectations... remember when the Clippers sold for $2 billion?

Bah, if only I could do things over again I would have been born to a family that owns an NFL team instead of some stupid factory worker and his wife!

Who would sell an NFL team? It's like killing the goose that lays golden eggs!

Thats all any appraisal or valuation is. If an appraiser establishes a value for your house then its purely hypothetical. However, valuations are done by appraisers to set a market value that can be used in the event of damage or total loss for insurance purposes.

That's what I mean. If the owner values it more than what someone is willing to buy it, then that's it's value. It's not always what another person would pay for it.

There's your problem right there!
Either that or you've needed to take more risk financially in order to target a high rate of return.

Didn't Katie complain to some fans about how hard it is to run a team? Like really really really super hard.

I think the only way you sell a team is if an owner dies and the heirs can't decide on an ownership strategy going forward. Maybe one of them gets caught up in some SEC scandal or something of that nature? Oh wait... nothing ever actually happens to those guys, so that would not be a reason...

Oh I know, only a BIG-10 scandal would happen around here. Let's hope, fingers crossed.
