Damn. Tennessee budget is almost 1.5 million and Alabama was almost 1 million and Auburn is 950k.

Tennessee's recruiting budget has always been high, because they have nearly zero in state talent.

Hawaii is only at $135,000???? That's embarrassing considering they have an 8 hour flight to LA...no wonder they suck

Auburn 950,378
Georgia Tech 883,430
Arkansas 666,419
Georgia 623,224
Texas Tech 611,910
Florida 602,929
Oregon 590,683
North Carolina 580,200
Texas 577,976
Michigan 577,663
Illinois 545,363
Army 511,840
Mississippi 495,233
Memphis 493,204

WTF Georgia Tech?

Their recruits get one of these for signing up.

That seems rather odd that UGA and UF would be so high; Florida and Georgia have some of the best talent (and quantity as well) of any state in the country. Maybe they are paying their players :evil:

You have to be extremely smart to even be considered for both West Point and GT; combine that with an ability to play football on an elite level and I'm sure their travel costs are through the roof and likely don't correlate to bukus of four and five star talent on the field and in the classrooms...

The pic is an 83 plus. I still have mine from AP cal-cu-lus esse.

Oh, I know it was an 83+ in the pic. I was inferring from Goldenspur's post that he believed that the 84+ was the far superior model compared to the 83+ with the 'ftw' in his reply to the pic. To which I replied with 89, which is now making its way into high schools, especially for the upper level classes such as AP Calculus.

And nice Stand and Deliver reference btw.
