The Cost of Recruiting.

ND is outspent only by the University of Tenn. Which also recruits nationally.

I'm suprised that UF is 3rd, mainly because you would think they could fill the roster with 4* players and not even leave the Middle and Northern part of the state of Florida...conceding South Fla to Miami.

Cost of Recruiting

 

Seems to me that they spend a lot of money trailing CW around the country poaching a recruit every year.

 

well

<t>I look for UF's costs to go way down as they no longer have to support Mattison's buffet addiction on the road. The rest of the staff seems rather svelt.</t>

Well, you've explained why UT and ND require such <U><s></s><B><s></s>heavy<e></e></B><e></e></U> recruiting budgets. <br/>

So Gaterz

<t>what you are saying here is that you agree with me?<br/>
<br/>
I'm of the opinion that throughout the recruiting season, Mattison always knew the location of two things:<br/>
<br/>
-Charlie Weis<br/>
-The nearest Barnhills<br/>
<br/>
Its nice to get a little support from the Gatornation!</t>

 

Corey may really be onto something here. If the Gators recruiting costs drop and Tennessee and Notre Dame's do not then we may have a winner!

 

Fulmer may be earning those buffet dinners this year with 15 commitments already but I think he should have to regurgitate some uh....money from last year.

 

ohhh good idea

<r>or we can limit them to one trip to the salad bar only <E></E></r>

 

That wouldn't affect Fulmer at all. Now limit the T-Bones and mashed taters and you might just be on to something there. :wink:

 

Good point Tom

<r>Very good point.<br/>
<br/>
Maybe we can slap a restriction on them.. Something like... 1 plate and 1 trip to the buffet.. The contents of your plate can't be higher than a cup of coffee... No stuffing food in the cup of coffee <E></E><br/>
<br/>
And here I sit saying all this stuffing down my Taco Bell lunch! Gotta love hypocrisy</r>

 

I found this article interesting regarding top high school football talent by state. Pay particular attention to NFL players per capita.

http://www.ajc.com/blogs/content/sh...8/04/14/best_high_school_football_states.html

 

the per capita debate is like a guy with a small wang buying tighter underwear to make himself feel better about his manhood.

in all seriousness, i had made the per capita case for Mississippi years and years ago. A few disagreed with me, most said it didn't matter.

i do know that I have seen HS football at both high and low levels in damn near every state on that list. The only notables that I hadn't seen was OH, PA, and TX.

But anywho... guys who write stories like this don't get it. They don't know how it works.. they just don't get it. I could go into the dynamics of why HS sports are 'better' in some areas than in others but its late and I am finally done waiting for this client.
