Alabama is not a "rockstar" program in terms of recruiting budget. Talk about getting bang for your buck. That said, this is "official" spending and that info is pretty much worthless to me.

 

[dawgstudent]

that's all under the LT regime. I wonder how much it increased under Byrne.

It is okay to put together subpar seasons 4 of the last 5 years if you have a small recruiting budget.

Hell, I say reduce the budget so we can pop champaigne when we get to the CIT.

but no way we spend more than they do. Maybe they use booster's planes or something, but I still call ********.

I think how much talent you have at your door step factors into a lot of those numbers. Surely Tennessee would have to spend a lot on travel budgets to find people in outside of East Tennessee (see Kiffin and O renting out the helicopter last year), but places like Bama has the luxury on a good supply of talent in state along with the good national guys added on top.

Arkansas had triple the budget Stansbury has had, but it sure hasnt seem to have gotten them anywhere better. Hell they even took one of our players that our recruiting budget was used on...

 

[8dog]

you got the wrong guy, brother.

Seriously, $200K more would put us in 7th? That tells me that these budget numbers are just the tip of a very large iceberg.

I'm sure if you broke it down, Alabama's would come out to:
Football: 360,000
Basketball: 300
Baseball: 27

While UK's would be
Basketball: 310,000
Football: 2,000
Baseball: 56

and Bama is last 2 years out of the reporting schools and in the bottom half the third year.

 

[jakldawg]

(and there is absolutely no way Auburn spends that much money on basketball recruiting. That must be their code name for football recruit CWAB slush fund)

 

[Todd4State]

I can tell ya'll that the baseball team didn't spend whole lot of money recruiting unless they spent of all of the recruiting budget on "the camp".

 

[PBRME]

The real question is how much does Bama spend compared to the rest of the SEC that can't be reported?</p>

our baseball camps cost this much money to run

Miss. State: $23,325
Miss. State: $18,342
Miss. State: $26,518
