"@schadjoe: Spurrier says Slives multiyear scholarship idea "is a terrible idea."
"@Andrew_Gribble: Spurrier said South Carolina spent about $12,000 on recruiting services last season. UT spent $177,697."
"@schadjoe: Spurrier quipped "we operate pretty cheaply. I see Mississippi State has a jet airplane out there. They've got all kinds of $ at Miss St."
NOt bad, but he is FOS saying USC spent 12K on recruiting services. GMAFB. I would guess a typical trip for one coach to see one athlete costs at least $300-400, more if he flies. And how many recruiting trips did they take? Ridiculous.
Of course, "recruiting services" may mean what is paid to outside consultants, not what they spent on recruiting overall. In which case it makes sense.
