article on recruiting expenses

Interesting read. No surprise $EC leads. I'd be interested to know what UM spent in '12.

(edit: followed link in the article and saw UM at #47. Even greater job by Gold and staff!)

I can say that I heard coach Golden in an interview talk about how the alumni and boosters chipped in by allowing use of private planes and/or helicopters, etc... I've never researched what the NCAA rules are in that regard. Might be interesting to see.

Most SEC schools are in the middle of no-mans land. They need lavish facilities and huge recruiting budgets to lure talent to come to them.

Notice how Miami & USC are not on the list.

Some of these schools are getting an awful ROI.

I agree but Metropolis areas like Miami and LA (both football hotbeds) its alot easier to find talent and you have alot of playes wiling to spend their colleges years in these areas. I dont believe UM will ever have to spend resources (legally) like a Alabama or Auburn. Alot of our players live within a 3 hour drive to UM

I expected Oregon to be much, much higher. I guess they don't declare the money Phil Knight spends for them.
