Teams that spend big on recruiting make tourney

Posted Mar 18, 2015
Kansas spends more money recruiting men's basketball players than any other public school in Division I, about $2.1 million over a recent five-year span. Louisville, at $2 million, and Kentucky, at just under $2 million, are right behind. That makes sense. Each is a name-brand powerhouse with national championships. Recruiting is the lifeblood of college sports and USA TODAY Sports found a correlation between schools that spend big on recruiting and schools that had success making the NCAA tournament.
