Georgia spends over $4.5 million on recruiting?????

Almost every single one of their recruits lives within a tank of gas drive from Athens.

Naturally, SEC recruiting spending is off the charts. Four of the top five spenders nationally over the past five years are in the conference with Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee leading the way. Texas A&M forced its way into the conversation by spending nearly $3 million during the 2022 cycle, nearly triple its number from 2020.

After moderate spending in the past several years on probation, Ole Miss exploded under Lane Kiffin. LSU is surprisingly low on the list, but it's also likely a testament to the level of talent within driving distance of Baton Rouge. Ten of the 15 members of LSU's 2022 recruiting class were from the state, while two others were from Texas.
