Tennessee spends more money on recruiting than any other team in the SEC. Auburn is second and Alabama is third.
The common thread among these three schools is Big League football players available in Tennessee and Alabama.
Florida State spends tons less than Vols, Tigers and Tide...yet seem to do well every year. Why? State players available, damn good recruiting staff, head coach who knows the value of hiring coaches who can coach and recruit plus pay.
Move Nick Saban to Wake Forest with a liberal budget and he would win the ACC in three years. Be a national player in year four. Ain't rocket science.
