Recruiting Budgets

Consider these statistics. About 50 of the nation’s Division I colleges and universities have recruiting budgets of less than $100,000. Only 22 Division II and III schools have more than $100,000 earmarked for recruiting. These budgets are then split among all the schools’ athletic programs which might include men’s and women’s tennis teams, swim teams, golf programs, football, basketball, lacrosse, baseball, and more. It’s important for student-athletes and parents to understand these recruiting budgets as they only go so far. Most student-athletes won’t have colleges coming to them for recruitment. Don’t wait around for colleges and coaches to come to you. Be proactive and go to them.
