Study estimates revenue produced by top college football players

The most elite players in college football increase revenue for their school football programs by an average of $650,000 a year, a first-of-its-kind study suggests.

This is the money brought in by the highest-rated recruits coming out of high school – those given five stars by Rivals, a recruiting news service, according to researchers at The Ohio State University.

Four-star recruits generated about $350,000 a year and three-star recruits increased revenue by about $150,000, while two-star recruits actually reduced revenue by about $13,000 a year for college football programs, the study found.

Amid the continuing national debate about compensation for college athletes, this study offers the first solid numbers on the financial impact of players in the highest-revenue college sport, said Trevon Logan, co-author of the study and professor of economics at Ohio State.

“There have been a lot of numbers put out there about how much college athletes should get under various compensation proposals,” Logan said.

“But it’s hard to do that when you don’t know how players affect the bottom line. That’s what we’re trying to do here.”

Logan conducted the study with Stephen Bergman, a former undergraduate student at Ohio State. The study has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Sports Economics.

For the study, the researchers collected a unique dataset from the federal Office of Postsecondary Education that included annual football-specific revenue and expenses from 2002 to 2012 for all college football bowl subdivision (FBS) schools – the top level in the sport.

UNC Jumps Clemson for No. 2-Ranked 2021 Recruiting Class; 11 4-Star Commits

North Carolina football jumped to second in the 247Sports class of 2021 team rankings on Friday after 4-star linebacker Raneiria "RaRa" Dillworth committed to the Tar Heels, per Don Callahan of 247Sports.

That commitment gave UNC 11 total 4-star recruits for its 2021 class. The mark is tied for the most in the nation with Ohio State, which tops the current overall rankings.

The Dillworth signing also allowed UNC to leapfrog perennial ACC powerhouse Clemson, which has one 5-star and nine 4-star recruits thus far. The Tigers fell to third in the rankings.

Just sayin': Hindsight is 20/20; but, Mack Brown should have never left UNC for Texas. His last couple years at UNC he went 10-2 (1996) and 11-1 (1997). Had he stayed, UNC might be dominating the ACC in lieu of Clemson, etc.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to argue his success at UT and say he would have been better staying. Although you can argue they may have underachieved at UT a few of his years, he still had a nice run.

I mean, he did win an NC and win 10+ games 9 straight years at UT.

Agreed, but maybe @ScriptOhio is saying that due to the intense scrutiny Brown had while at UT and the way he exited that program, it may have tainted him more than most of those 10+win seasons. And that NC may as well be a history lesson when it comes to recruiting.

He phoned it in after Colt left, imo. But his success will always be tied to Vince Young unlike any other coach and player in CFB history(there may be a tie Tebow and Meyer, but OSU fans would possibly argue Zeke).
