How Much Does Your College Spend Recruiting Football Players?

The one thing that would really help would have more staff completely devoted to recruiting. I think that is where we fall behind a lot of these other schools. We aren’t as invested in the program’s success as much as we should be.

Bingo. If we're lucky enough to save money on flights, or we benefit fiscally from selectively offering, we shouldn't shortsightedly ferret that money away but rather spend it somewhere else. Recruiting staff, social media, more QA/analysts.

Maybe being hamstrung by our terrible P12 media contract limits the headroom of what financial benefit can be reaped, but big time P5 football is a place where money well spent is rewarded with multiples in revenue.
