Banged for the buck

Believe it or not (and you probably won’t), Georgia Tech spends more on recruiting than all but six schools in America.

    Which demonstrates they have more money than they do sense.

    CPJ spends the money recruiting them only to run them off before signing day.

    I wonder what Auburn’s off-the-books expenditures look like…

    … not even ranked in the top 25 in spending yet still pulling in top recruiting classes.

    Yep, Tech is top dollar in every way. Probably a lot of money is spent on stakes, chains and collars to prevent them from looking at other schools. Also private investigators cost money to keep tabs on their verbals. I’m sure that some of the money is a hedge on under-the-gun NCAA infractions as well. And fish frys ain’t cheap, you know.

    Tech probably just needs a better texting plan with their mobile service provider. Those messages can really add up.
