With the NFL regular season starting today, I thought this inaugural ranking of NFL team valuations to be timely and interesting. A few quick takeaways: --The Dallas Cowboys can still claim to be "America's team" based on their #1 valuation and the only team with more than $1B of revenue. --The Green Bay Packers, with their unique public ownership structure rank impressively high on the list at #12, outpacing teams in much larger markets. --Every team is a multi-billion dollar enterprise (all are valued at $5B+ and have revenues of $500M+) Where does your team stack up? I'd be interested in seeing similar rankings for other sports and leagues...

The NFL season starts this week and they are still the revenue kings of Sports. 5 stats that might surprise you: 1) The Cowboys have nearly 33% more revenue than the #2 NFL team. 2) The least valuable NFL franchise (Cincinnati Bengals) is worth nearly $1B more than the most valuable NHL Franchise (Toronto Maple Leafs). 3) Expect to pay more than $233,000 per second for a 30-second ad in this year's Super Bowl. 4) NFL teams average less than 20% of revenues from ticket sales with National TV deals making up the bulk of their revenue. 5) The NFL's $14B deal with YouTube for NFL Sunday Ticket is facing a $4.7B lawsuit that could change the distribution landscape of games.

As Super Bowl LVIII gets underway, it’s interesting to see how the competitors stack up in terms of NFL Franchise valuations. Based on valuations performed by Sportico in 2023 (all figures in USD): Kansas City Chiefs: Revenue (‘22) = $548M (17th in NFL) Valuation = $4.52B (19th in NFL) San Francisco 49ers: Revenue (’22) = $660M (5th in NFL) Valuation = $6.15B (5th in NFL) Amidst these mind-blowing valuations, some recent NFL Franchise acquisitions provide solid transaction data points. For example, the Washington Commanders were purchased for $6.05B during 2023, following the purchase of the Denver Broncos for $4.65B in 2022. For those playing at home, the Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable NFL team at $9.2B, according to Sportico’s 2023 valuations (some $2.16B ahead of its nearest rival, the New York Giants, underpinned by Revenue (’22) of $1.05B!) Who’ve you got in Super Bowl LVIII? #nfl #kansascitychiefs #49ers #valuations

The NFL Players Association's recent franchise grades are a interesting look to how teams operate. Players are the most important part of a franchise's success. It's important to understand their sentiment to not only make the team better, but overall franchise operations. Players have a finite time in the NFL (average tenure = 3.3 years), being healthy is important to their well-being. There's also a strong correlation between fewer games lost to injury and winning more games. I wanted to take a look at this year's NFLPA data with injured reserve data and saw what you would expect - better training operations generally correlates with fewer player injuries, which leads to a better chance of making the playoffs. This isn't something that's only applicable in the NFL - organizations need to continuously invest in their people to be successful. Understand the #experience and #expectation gaps and use this information to up-skill and re-skill to make your team a high-performing one.

Are you following what the Washington Commanders are doing? If you are a stakeholder in business, leadership, law, finance, sports or content, you should be. Here’s why… Washington’s franchise is a part of the fabric of the NFL. It was established in 1932, has millions of fans worldwide, is rich in tradition and plays in a high-profile division (NFC East). At the same time, the franchise is currently undergoing a transformative change. It is rare, perhaps unprecedented, to see such a foundational brand under the umbrella of such a successful entity (NFL) do this. The franchise rebranded. Then, it was sold to a new owner. Consequently, there were changes at every level of the organization, from the front office and business operations to the coaching and scouting staffs and, of course, a lot of the roster. The Commanders even recently used the No. 2 overall pick on a new quarterback – Jayden Daniels. As a 15-year veteran of the Minnesota Vikings where I diligently worked on the marketing side of the business while (gladly) prioritizing the interests of the football operation, I take great interest in, and am acutely aware of the challenges and opportunities that must define, Washington’s current quest. A great place to start following this is with Commanders Senior Vice President, Chief Partnerships Officer Jim Rushton, who is experienced in helping franchises with significant transition and who is active here on LinkedIn. Bravo, so far, to the Commanders as they navigate such a significant change to such a proud organization! #HTTC #NFL #ChangeAgents
