It’s about brand value.

Rangers own MSG, building and the network. Plus ticket prices are among the highest in the league.

Yeah that's why it seems odd their operating income is so low compared to the other teams on the list. Something seems off there.

Remind me again, isn't Operating Income before salaries are taken out? I don't remember...

It's funny though: If you own a few houses in California your net worth might very well be LARGER than the Panthers operating income. Yikes!
