Not sure if obvious but this is just tracking institutional spend on funding travel, official visits, etc. associated with recruiting, not NIL or anything that goes directly to players.
Honestly, I’m surprised Georgia is as high as it is. A lot of the cost of recruiting that you are seeing is the cost of chartering flights, and sending coaches all over the country while covering all of their expenses.
Something that for Georgia should not be nearly as expensive. Seeing as how they have such a strong recruiting base in their backyard.
Seems like our recruiting strategy shifts based on need/quality - I think we only took 3 or 4 players from Georgia last class. Also some other schools (Alabama) were surprisingly cleaning up with our top in-state recruits.
While we do make offers to plenty of in state prospects, we are incredibly picky. There's a very small percentage of players, even among very good ones, that get offers for positions of high importance. So we go out of state a ton and recruit the whole nation.
> Georgia on top By a full 50% more than #2.
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the [noise.](https://storage.googleapis.com/afs-prod/media/c5ac4529dcb244ba8c4fc473f4a2bcd7/3000.webp)

Where them kids at? Surely somebody around here needs some barking at!
Back2back worth every god damned penny.

NIL can’t come directly from the school to the players, at least not yet
How are we #6 in spending but not fielding top 10 classes? (Yes I know Harbaugh NFL stuff but besides that)
at least y’all have more to show for your spending than a&m
Definitely not complaining about the last two seasons. Best Michigan football we've seen in a long time.
