During the 2019 fiscal year, 42 of the 56 public schools examined that compete in the AAC, ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC spent more on men’s basketball recruiting than they had in 2018. On average, those 56 schools spent $57,333 more on recruiting per school than they had during the previous recruiting cycle, continuing an upwards trend in the investment on the recruiting trail.

 

Recruiting expenses, as defined by the NCAA Financial Report forms that schools fill out annually, “input transportation, lodging and meals for prospective student-athletes and institutional personnel on official and unofficial visits, telephone call charges, postage and such. Include value of use of institution’s own vehicles or airplanes as well as in-kind value of loaned or contributed transportation.”

Wow....Wisconsin only spent $81,000 on BB recruiting?  That seems really odd....like they aren't reporting something.

It's always a bit hard to compare those numbers because of how schools classify them.  Perhaps they have people working in recruiting but their job title doesn't say that or things like that.
