Interesting recruiting information

[Class of 61]

While this specifically mentioned Akron, it also affects BG and all other public universities in Ohio.
Seems that Akron is going to recruit HARDER in Ohio as a cost saver. The state gives the public schools money for each in state recruit as well as "extra money" as these kids go through school, graduate etc. Conversely, schools get nothing for out of state recruits.
Akron had , I think, something like 27 kids from Florida, plus a host of transfers from many power five schools ( not sure how these kids are counted). I'm going to look at our roster to see how we fit into this story.
