    Interesting article, and no doubt recruiting needs to improve.

    Nebraska's huge increase probably has to do with the fact that this recruiting class was numerically a lot larger than last year's (so I read).

    Throw Nebraska out of the totals and there is a modest increase, almost across the board (not Michigan nor Purdue). I wonder how that would compare to national averages. You'd think the author might have done that, given his conclusion that B1G costs are exploding.

    Also his theory is that the success of Urban Meyer is the reason...well, it seems to have come without a big increase in recruitment funding at OSU...so is it lack of money that is the problem for the other schools?
