MBB recruiting spending - 82lsju - 03-02-2020

Quote:For the first time in college basketball history, a program eclipsed the $1-million mark in reported recruiting expenses in a single fiscal year. During the 2019 fiscal year, Kentucky spent $1,073,985 on men’s basketball recruiting, according to the university’s NCAA Financial Report.
 
Based on past NCAA Financial Reports compiled by AthleticDirectorU, college football saw its first $1 million spenders on recruiting in 2012 and the sport’s top spenders are creeping towards $4 million annually, but Kentucky spent more on men’s basketball recruiting last year than 36 public Power Five universities spent on football recruiting, including Ohio State football ($1.06M).

how do you spend $1m on MBB recruiting, even if they had 10 recruits and got 5 of them that's $100k/recruit?  Private jet transportation for official visits?

Last time I checked, we weren't a public school.
