According to a CNN Money article.
- TylerE 7y agoThe least valuable NFL team had profits of $126M on revenue of over $400m. So I suspect the answer is a strong "no", but they're at least in the same zipcode if not the same ballpark.
- adventured 7y agoThe least valuable NFL team - the Bills - had $86m in operating income.[1] Net profit would be lower. The Cleveland Browns only had $32m in operating income, coming in as the 5th least valuable team. The Oakland Raiders were the 12th most valuable, with $28m in operating income (of course their value is high due to other factors). Seems plausible that Alabama's program is worth over a billion dollars solidly. The value boost of being in the NFL is obviously what really separates the situations, regardless of comparable incomes.
