How much would it cost? According to an annual [URL='http://www.wsj.com/article_email/how-much-is-your-favorite-college-football-team-worth-1452473476-lMyQjAxMTA2MzE5MTQxOTEzWj']study[/URL], Syracuse football is worth $130.5 million. That would rank Syracuse 48th among the 116 FBS teams ranked for the study. Ryan Brewer, an assistant professor of finance at Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus, conducts the study. According to the Wall Street Journal, Brewer "analyzed each program's revenues and expenses and made cash-flow adjustments, risk assessments and growth projections to calculate what a college team would be worth on the open market, if it could be bought and sold like a professional franchise."

The dead period concludes on January 13, and Babers and his staff are wasting little time getting some of their top targets on campus for official visits. The next three weekends will be crucial for the Syracuse football program, as some high priority recruits are scheduled to make visits. For some, will be their first trips to the Hill as Babers and his staff attempt to basically double the current size of the recruiting class. Fortunately, while the dead period limited contact it didn’t eliminate it altogether, and Syracuse has been able to reach out to several exciting prospects, many of which have received scholarship offers to play for the Orange. ...
