Leading the way in 2012 was Auburn, followed by Tennessee. Both schools are in an exceptionally competitive conference, and face very tough regional competition for talent (the rest of the SEC). Auburn spent $2,544,910 on recruiting, with $2,252,990 for the Volunteers. Notre Dame was third with $2,048,964, followed by Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Michigan and Nebraska. Ohio State was 24th, spending $1,289,623, less than Minnesota, Washington, Texas Tech and Illinois, among others.

I found it interesting how up there arkansas was in ticket sales. Looked like 5 or 6.  And that. Was for a bad year.  Also, we're up there in recruiting budget.  I feel like arkansas is about to take a huge jump.

But look at our donation number.  It's still one of the lowest in the SEC.

You are correct. The profitability of the athletic department indicates a well run organization. +1 Jeff Long
