In a surprising twist, the school which spent the most on recruiting for its men’s teams in 2010-11 was not Alabama, Auburn or LSU, but rather, Tennessee. The Vols spent $1,878,771.00 on recruiting student-athletes for its men’s sports teams in 2010-11
quote:
The SEC programs which spent at least $1 million on recruiting student-athletes for their men’s sports programs were: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia and Tennessee

Interestingly, LSU, which participated in this year’s BCS National Championship Game was one SEC school whose men’s sports recruitment expenses did not top $1 million. LSU spent $574,182.00 on recruiting for its men’s sports teams in 2010-11.

Really shows how well LSU does recruiting all the talent in small area.

I'm not sure why someone would think it's surprising that Tennessee would spend the most. You have to go where the talent is, and it's not in the state of Tennessee (at least for football).

It's really amazing that we are as competitive in basketball and baseball with as low of a budget as we have

not really surprising. we dont have a lot of instate talent for football, and you give more football schollys per year than any other sport. i would say at least half, if not 3/4 of our fball team is out of state
