FROM CANZANO:
THE BILL: In mid-June, Texas spent $280,000 to host nine recruits, including five-star QB Arch Manning. The spread included first-class travel and red-carpet treatment. Recruits and their families stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel, where Queen Elizabeth II once slept. Cakes, sundaes, ice sculptures, lobster, rib-eye steaks, a mini-cruise, Top Golf, and breakfast at coach Steve Sarkisian’s house were among the treats.
Of the nine recruits present, Texas locked up four, including the prized Manning.
Cost-per-commitment: $70,000.
Among those on the trip who didn’t pick Texas? My’Keil Gardner, a three-star defensive lineman, who chose Oregon.
