More with Less... Recruiting...
With recruiting season in high gear and signing day on the horizon I found this to be an interesting read. Basically breaks down recruiting spend across all of FBS. NIU is in the bottom 10 at $240K and below the MAC average of $311K. Also of note, the University of Illinois with the fourth worst return on recruiting investment trailing only Duke, Army, and UMass.

Good article, good mention...

"The MAC and the Sun Belt both have four representatives in the bottom 10. Of note is Northern Illinois at No. 8 lowest, a program that has posted five consecutive double-digit-win seasons, earning a 57-13 record since 2010."


I would say we have the best ROI by far, in terms of wins that is.

What's even more remarkable is how much recruiting we do outside of our state and yet still manage to operate on a shoestring budget and have a big footprint.

NIU is always near the bottom in recruiting. No wonder they never do anything.

Then we can all become Toledo fans. Everyone knows they have the best recruits, anyway, year after year.

That reminds me of a funny story. I will change the names to protect the innocent.

A few years ago, I drove down to Alabama to see NIU in the GoDaddy with "Sam" and "Dave". We stopped at a Wal-Mart in Alabama to pick up some supplies, and Dave decided to buy an Alabama hat. Later on Dave asked us, "What's this low tide mean? Everywhere I turn, people are noticing my hat and saying low tide."

That's our little inside joke now.

LOW TIDE!
