Texas finished 8-4 this season and head coach Mack Brown said he would step down after the Longhorns play Oregon in the Dec. 30 Alamo Bowl.

It was not a great season for Texas. But it still wasn’t enough to knock them from atop Forbes’ listing of college football’s most valuable teams in 2013.

Texas remained No. 1 since 2009 and is worth $139 million, according to Forbes.com. The Longhorns produced $109 million in revenue with an $82 million profit. According to the report, Texas brought in $34.5 million in ticket sales.

No other team has surpassed $100 million in revenue and Texas has done it consecutive years.
