How much is Florida football's program worth? The Athletic ranks FBS teams by valuation
With NIL now here and the collegiate gridiron turned into a de facto professional league, one might wonder how much each school's program is worth as a whole — like how pro sports franchises have a value based on the fiscal aspects of the entity.
The Athletic's Matt Baker attempted to answer this query in his rankings of every Power 4 team by how much they'd sell for, in which he put together some numbers based on what we know about the business side of these operations. Of course, he offers the following caveat:
"Do not take our numbers to the bank, literally or metaphorically. Instead, consider this a fun attempt at blending back-of-the-envelope math with common sense to price college programs like their professional peers — an exercise that's theoretical for now … but might not be much longer," Baker warns.
So, where do the Florida Gators stand in these data?
Florida football's valuation, ranking per The Athletic
According to Baker's math, the Gators are the 12th most-valuable program in the country and seventh most-valuable in the Southeastern Conference.
"The Gators are also pursuing a major stadium upgrade that would significantly change the revenue picture; in January, the chairperson of the university's board of trustees publicly floated a $1 billion price tag for the project," he offers.
It is also noted that Florida's average annual football revenue is $98.5 million. However, Baker's counterpoint has been a source of agony for the Orange and Blue faithful.
"Florida's downside remains its on-field product. USC is the only other program in our top 12 that has never made the College Football Playoff, and the Gators have suffered through four consecutive seasons without finishing ranked."
SEC schools among top-30-ranked program values
A full dozen of the conference's 16 member schools cracked the top 30 of The Athletic's college football program valuations, with the Gators sitting near the midpoint at No. 7 among SEC programs.
The Texas Longhorns and Georgia Bulldogs occupy the two top spots in the league as well as overall, respectively, while the Alabama Crimson Tide (No. 6 overall, No. 3 in SEC), Oklahoma Sooners (No. 7 overall, No. 4 in SEC), Tennessee Volunteers (No. 9 overall, No. 5 in SEC) and LSU Tigers (No. 10 overall, No. 6 in SEC) round out the top 10.
After Florida follow the Auburn Tigers (No. 13 overall, No. 8 in SEC), Texas A&M Aggies (No. 15 overall, No. 9 in SEC), Arkansas Razorbacks (No. 23 overall, No. 10 in SEC), Ole Miss Rebels (No. 25 overall, No. 11 in SEC) and South Carolina Gamecocks (No. 257 overall, No. 12 in SEC).

Florida football coach Billy Napier says safety Asa Turner no longer with the team
Former Florida football safety Asa Turner was granted a seventh year of eligibility by the NCAA. But Florida Gators coach Billy Napier said during his media day press conference on July 29 that Turner won't be playing football for UF this season. "Asa is transitioning out of football," Napier said. "He's had really three years of significant injuries in college football. I actually met with Asa this morning. Look, Asa did a great job when he got here and was a really big contributor early in the season. Got injured and then hasn't quite been the same guy, if you really look at Washington the last couple of years." A transfer from Washington, Turner appeared in just one game for Florida last season, making a tackle against Miami before being sidelined for the rest of the 2024 season with a knee injury. "Asa contributed to our team last year," Napier said. "Very thankful for the way he approached being a teammate, his attitude. But he's at a point where he's not going to play." Florida has developed depth at safety with Bryce Thornton and Jordan Castell emerging as the two starters for UF. Freshman Drake Stubbs also showed promise at safety during UF's spring game, recording an interception. Kevin Brockway is The Gainesville Sun's Florida beat writer.

Broad Capital Acquisition Corp. Announces Voluntary SEC Deregistration
Dallas, Texas, July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Broad Capital Acquisition Corp. (the 'Company') (NASDAQ: BRAC, BRACR, BRACU), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced today that it intends to voluntarily deregister from its reporting requirements to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC'). As previously disclosed, on January 18, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger and Business Combination Agreement, as amended (the 'Business Combination Agreement'), with Openmarkets Group Pty Ltd., an Australian proprietary limited company ('OMG'), BMYG OMG Pty Ltd., an Australian proprietary limited company, in connection with its initial business combination. On January 22, 2025, the Nasdaq Stock Market ('Nasdaq') ceased trading of the Company's securities because the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(B) because, as of December 31, 2024, it has not maintained a minimum of 1,100,000 publicly held shares. On February 12, 2025, the Company received a notice of termination from OMG advising that OMG had terminated the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(d)(i) of the Merger Agreement. On June 5, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC') filed a Form 25 to delist the Company's securities from Nasdaq. In view of the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined to voluntarily file a Form 15 to deregister with the SEC after carefully considering the advantages and disadvantages of continuing registration and listing. The costs and administrative burdens associated with being a publicly reporting company have significantly increased, particularly in light of new SEC, Sarbanes-Oxley and Nasdaq requirements. Our Board has determined that the rising costs of compliance, as well as the substantial demands on management time and resources, outweigh the benefits the Company receives from maintaining its registered status. We believe that deregistering will result in significantly reducing expenses, avoiding even higher future expenses and will enable our management to focus more of its time and resources on operating the Company.
