Notre Dame can add on another accolade for its football program.

Forbes ranks them the second most valuable college football program in the country.

Forbes used standardized revenue and expense streams to value each team.

The Fighting Irish are valued at $108 million.

The Texas Longhorns took the top spot with $119 million.

Forbes also listed the dividends generated by the program, seeing how much money was given back to the university and other athletic programs, as well as for the surrounding community.

Notre Dame's dividend was estimated at $38 million, and Forbes says St. Joseph County is the only county in the nation where spending was over $10 million during home football weekends.
