According to Forbes, Tennessee's football team is the third 'Most Valuable' in 2015. The Vols top all SEC programs, ranking just behind Texas and Notre Dame nationally.

Forbes specifically notes how Tennessee managed its money:

"And while most SEC teams saw a sizable boost in revenue this year, none were as good as Tennessee at maximizing their bottom line and filling their athletic department’s coffers (only Kentucky, Missouri, Vanderbilt and Mississippi State spent less than the Vols). The Volunteers had a profit margin of 74% of revenue last year, second only to Texas. Just seven other teams in the nation earned more than 60% of revenue."
