Rumor Opinion: Team for Sale?

NO! NUH UH! NEVER!

I did see her play the Fed Ex orange bowl that one year tho and then again on SNL where she just walked off stage in shame

 

While that makes sense with many things in the business world, it's not applicable to an NFL franchise.

There are only 32 in existence, and are a turnkey moneymaking investment. ..... Let alone a he*l of a status symbol.

There are plenty of investors stacked up begging for a chance to buy. Win/loss records
and disgruntled fans will not deter them on a chance at a golden ticket, especially with the city of Nashville on the rise.

 

I think it is like a general rule thing. Average NFL franchise would sell for around 2B these days. When it actually comes to sign the check and close it, who knows, but I think the general consensus is most NFL teams would get 2B.

 

Bingo, simply supply and demand. Way too many investors with the funds, and VERY limited opportunities.

 

Ah, I see now. We arent actually WORTH that much, thats just what we could go for on the market.

Remind me why Strunk & the gang arent selling again? Clearly their heads arent in football.. maybe they are waiting for the market for a football franchise to go up even more?

 

A comment was made about the titans being worth 2 billion dollars, the average evaluation of a nfl team is 2 billion, but the titans aren't presently average so there evaluation is less. You say the NFL is a license to print money but if the titans continue the way they have there fan base will shrink and lose revenue from tickets and merchandise sales, I'm sure that would have a knock on effect with the valuation and if profits dropped and the owners then sold the titans they wouldn't get there asking price.

According to Forbes , the Titans pulled in $318 million in revenue in 2014 and had operating income of $50.5 million. In comparison, last year's Forbes report placed those numbers at $278 million and $36 million, respectively.

So, if we can figure the 50.5 million figure to be something like net profit. AAS is pulling in 1/3 of that. If that is the case I figure they will be selling...why would someone in her situation want to put up with the BS for measly 15 million a year or so. If/when they sell she would see at least 500 million. Done deal...just working out the details.

 

That might apply for say, a Ford pickup truck. The difference is that an nfl team doesnt depreciate over time. The Titans franchise isn't a used car. It's one of the AFCs founding teams, owned by one of the co-founders of the same conference. It carries with it the rights and history of the Oilers as well as the Titans.

The moment it hits the market, if it does, there will be plenty of competition for the chance to make a bid.

 

I can only speculate, but I suspect that it's probably because it's still a profitable business.

I think something that might be easily overlooked by some is how these values are determined in the first place.

It's driven by past sales. When have any NFL franchises ever been sold or moved? What were the circumstances at the time?

I can't think of a single team that changed hands when they were successful, and yet those sales are what determines current market value.
