Recruiting isn’t a cheap expense when you consider all of the things that go into trying to land a commitment. You have to get your coaching staff to the recruit’s games and meet his coaches and family as well as eventually host the family on your campus. You must provide them with housing, meals, transportation, and any other kind of accommodation that will help put you in the good graces of a recruit.
The back-to-back national champions, Georgia Bulldogs, spent nearly 25% more than the second-place Clemson Tigers with $4.5 million in recruiting in 2022.
The Alabama Crimson Tide came in seventh on the list having spent $2.3 million on recruiting in 2022. What is impressive though is that they finished with the second-best recruiting class in 2022, higher than both Clemson and Georgia. The Tide trailed only Texas A&M, but Alabama still had the higher average of recruits.
As for the SEC, they are strongly represented on this list making up seven of the ten teams on the list if you include Texas and Oklahoma.
