Interesting article.  I'm assuming the Knight-Newhouse Data project at Syracuse University knows to some degree what Syracuse is spending here.

A couple things popped out to me:

[I]Georgia staff members traveled on some 140 charter flights that totaled $850,610[/I] [I]during fiscal year 2019.[/I] [I]Another $83,260 was spent on helicopters.

“Guys, if you don't recruit, there's no coach out there that can out-coach recruiting,” Smart said after beating Florida in 2021. “I don't care who you are. …  My family sacrifices so that I can go and spend time with other people's families so that we have good players. It's 25 percent evaluation, it's 50 percent recruiting and another 25 percent coaching. But if you don't recruit guys, you don't have a chance.”[/I]

[I]lorida has beefed up its football support staff under coach Billy Napier. It spent $1.64 million on football recruiting in 2022, up from $1.27 million in 2019. Its football support staff pay total for 2022 was $7.3 million; its previous high for this category was $4.7 million in 2018.

[B]Georgia listed 73 people on its football support staff[/B] in its College Football Playoff national championship media guide. Of those, six had recruiting in their titles.

Not listed are other recruiting staffers who pitch in to keep the talent acquisition rolling.[/I]
