College football recruiting is costly business. The more successful schools proved they were willing to pay the price.
As you might imagine, the Georgia Bulldogs topped the list of the schools that spent the most money on recruiting, showing their commitment to building a dynastic reign. Their $4.5 million commitment to the 2022 recruiting class was $1.3 million more than the next highest expense total.
Clemson checked in at No. 2 on the list at $3.2 million. Dabo Swinney once scoffed at NIL stating he built his program in God’s name, image and likeness. Clearly, there’s a monetary commitment at Clemson and the Tigers are doing more than winning over players with culture and a good education.
Texas A&M and Oklahoma both check in above Texas at No. 3 and 5, respectively. Here’s a look at the top 10 biggest recruiting expenses for the 2022 recruiting class.
