Records show Jim Harbaugh spent nearly $136K in 2015 recruiting

Am I the only one who actually doesn't believe this is a lot of money? I have managed a number of domestic and international strategy projects, and I've easily burned well over $300k a month for large engagements (many of them went nowhere). Honestly, with the size of his staff and the number of flights they take a week on short notice, I'm surprised the bill isn't much more. Just my $0.02.

Chickenfeed.

They will make that back and more on August 1st this year.

I'm struggling to see why this would be newsworthy, especially considering no other context is provided. Major media outlets seem to be getting worse every day. But good job executing that FOIA request, you sure nailed Harbaugh!!!!! SMH

Wonder how much he would have spent if he didn't hate recruiting.

Step 1. Pick any home game
Step 2. Have everyone in stands give away like $1.25.

There's your recruiting budget.

Coach Jim Harbaugh was everywhere recruting all over the lower continental 48 states in this big country of ours.  Hard to imagine how you could be everywhere for less.   Agree with those who point out this is a very strange story .   Wonder why it was written.  

I hope that figure doubles in a year. Use our institutional advantages! We fill up our stadium every week. MSU can't keep 40k people to the end of a b1g game. We should be outspending them at every turn.

Overseeing an increase in recruiting rankings rise 35 spots in one season is absolutely remarkable. And, at the same time coaching his football team to a winning pct of nearly .770 in his first year is equally impressive.

I still  have problems grasping the arguments presented by fans that have arguments with his recruiting methods when nothing more that simple match will reflect a result that most only dream of achieving in one year's time.

Good job, Jimmy
