This can be used to help us get a new coach in here, but also major :facepalm: at being top 5 in recruiting and having the horrible talent on the roster we have right now. Oh and add to the fact all the big 12 teams we finished behind this year who barely have half the budget we did.

**According to expense reports from 53 schools obtained through open-records requests. Private schools such as Duke University aren't required to divulge the information (Editor: please also note that teams like UNLV and Memphis from conferences such as the Mountain West and Conference USA were not included either).
 
Marquette isn't number 1? Don't they get like 30,000 people to games?
 
Marquette is a private school. Obviously they aren't on the list, Neither is Baylor.

But outside of KU we spend more money for recruiting than any other Big 12 school by almost double the amount.
