Wow that is disgusting. In a way that’s as bad as strippers/hookers

Et al at Louisville and other places. Imagine good that could have been done with that much cash.

Texas A&M spent a ton, too. I see App State stole their Game Day as well as the game. LOL!

I think the "social" with an open bar for the players and coaches was over the top. Is it not illegal to serve underage kids alcohol? I enjoy a drink as much as anyone, but I don't encourage underage drinking.

How Texas spent its money
The Athletic broke down — as much as they could — where and how Texas spent all of the $280,000 that weekend. Here's a breakdown:
$21,000 on travel for the recruits and their families that included airfare for those out of state.
$46,696 on 34 hotel rooms at the Four Seasons Austin.
$17,319.71 on a lunch buffet on Friday.
$1,813.74 on custom cakes and other snacks in each recruit's hotel room.
$3,359.12 on speaker rentals for photo shoots at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and the Moncrief-Neuhaus Athletic Center.
$29,129.40 on a dinner buffet at DKR that included flatware rental, drinks and an an ice sculpture.
$11,880 on an open bar for the recruits' parents.
Another hotel buffet at 2 a.m.
$10,226 on a breakfast buffet on Saturday.
$9,497.72 on a trip to Top Golf for 75 total guests that included food and drinks.
$36,900 on dinner at III Forks Steakhouse that included 46 7-ounce lobsters, 34 bone-in ribeyes, 26 8-ounce filets, 17 New York strips, sea bass, chicken fried lobster, lobster mac and cheese, and more.
$2,357.50 for an hour-long boat cruise on Lady Bird Lake that included dessert from Amy’s Ice Cream.
$31,628.75 bar tab for the parents at the W Austin hotel.
What a weekend.

Wonder if the "hotel buffet" at 2am was actually for massages since no cost was shown.

I agree. I hope we are both wrong but I sure do miss the days when kids would work harder for playing time vs just transferring.

The headline is misleading. It was for him and 8 other recruits.

Any idea how much $$ Clemson spends when they bring top recruits to town?

it's the up and coming new norm. I don't hate'em for doing what the system allows. I believe Clemson's bod need to get us into the SEC.

Clemson has been rebuilt with donations and investments since the 2016 and 2018 national championships. The multiplier effect in Austin would be significant if successful.
All that said, I can't help but thing Manning may be in for a big fall. He has the genetics, but does he have the drive and grit?
