Not a bad thing because we rarely have to travel out of state so it makes sense we are lower than others. Rutgers is only first because of all those trips back and forth to Florida.

Some of the numbers are crazy. I can't get over how much Tenn, Memphis and Army spend on recruiting. Here's some examples:

Tennessee $1,479,099

Florida $602,929

Army $511,840

Memphis $493,204

Florida State $433,236

UCF $265,312

South Florida $184,280

Surprised on the low recruiting budget for WV

WV 's is low due to that being school funded. We have a 1100 club that is supplemental through our Athletic Club that adds about 1 miilion to the 200kbig every year.
