Most football teams never secure a five-star recruit. Others, such as the University of Alabama and Louisiana State University,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/247sports.com\/season\/2020-football\/compositeteamrankings\/\">recruit three or four every year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My research team came to this $500,000 figure by linking 10 years\u2019 worth of football recruiting information from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/n.rivals.com\/\">Rivals.com<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scout.com\/\">Scout.com<\/a>, two of the top recruiting services for prospective college football players, with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ope.ed.gov\/athletics\/#\/\">federal data<\/a>\u00a0on how much colleges take in and spend on athletics, win-loss records for individual schools and post-season bowl appearances.<\/p>\n<p>The data shows revenue and expenditures for each sport separately, which made it possible to determine what a football recruit added to football revenue at each university.<\/p>\n<p>Schools like the University of Oklahoma, the University of Michigan and Notre Dame, which on average bring in over a dozen four- or five-star recruits every year, bring in millions of dollars more in revenue when they land more of the top recruits in a given year.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, my estimates suggests that Clemson University\u2019s five-star recruits, of which there were five, and 12 four-star recruits \u2013 also in top one-quarter of 1% of all players \u2013 in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/247sports.com\/season\/2020-football\/compositeteamrankings\/\">2020 recruiting class<\/a>\u00a0will increase the school\u2019s football revenue by well over $3 million,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/247sports.com\/LongFormArticle\/College-football-recruiting-biggest-spenders-Alabama-Michigan-Ohio-State-LSU-Florida-State-Tennessee-Texas-143656317\/#143656317_6\">well above its $1.8 million recruiting budget<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The reason is simple: Top recruits help teams win.<\/p>\n<p>Since a top recruit correlates strongly with increases in the number of victories, they help determine the type of post-season play. Five-star recruits are not the deciding factor in whetehr a school gets to a bowl game, the mark of a winning season \u2013 the big-time programs will have winning records every year without fail.<\/p>\n<p>But they do push them to the upper echelon of post-season play \u2013 the College Football Playoffs or its forerunner, the Bowl Championship Series. Reaching the championship level in college football\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportspromedia.com\/news\/sec-football-tv-rights-espn-abc-cbs\">contributes to lucrative broadcast contracts<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/sports\/college\/ct-spt-big-ten-discover-sponsor-20171108-story.html\">corporate partnerships<\/a>\u00a0and even more successful recruiting.<\/p>\n<p>Very few schools are consistently successful in the race to recruit top football talent and win at the highest levels. Just as nine schools have been responsible for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncaa.com\/news\/football\/article\/2020-04-27\/college-football-teams-most-nfl-draft-picks-2000\">20% of all players drafted into the NFL<\/a>\u00a0over the past two decades, only six schools have made it to the College Football Playoff championship game.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Financing other sports<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There is more than hoisting football trophies at stake.<\/p>\n<p>College football is a key driver of athletic department revenue as well, helping to pay for other sports programs. Athletic departments that field more than 30 varsity teams do so understanding that fewer than five varsity teams generate enough revenue to cover the entire athletics department\u2019s expenses.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, some critics argue that big-time college sports, which feature rosters made up\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/4110443\/college-football-race-problem\/\">primarily of black student-athletes<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/education\/archive\/2018\/10\/college-sports-benefits-white-students\/573688\/\">pay for the sports programs that include overwhelmingly white student-athletes<\/a>, such as lacrosse and swimming, which receive far less media attention but are the bulk of athletes in major collegiate sports programs.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/education\/archive\/2018\/10\/college-sports-benefits-white-students\/573688\/\">Sixty-one percent<\/a>\u00a0of all student athletes are white.<\/p>\n<p>Football revenue also helps finance athletic recruiting efforts and amenities, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/247sports.com\/LongFormArticle\/Alabama-football-Clemson-Tigers-Nick-Saban-Ohio-State-Buckeyes-LSU-college-facilities-rankings-2019-134061740\/\">state-of-the-art facilities<\/a>. All of that takes money, which takes recruits, which takes money. Every recruiting video, campus visit and hosted meal is a line item on an athletic department\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>COVID-19 repercussions<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The possibility of there being no college football season in the fall of 2020 is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2020\/04\/02\/college-football-coronavirus-ncaa-d1-sports\/\">making athletics departments fear<\/a>\u00a0big budget cuts.<\/p>\n<p>Already, some schools are dropping sports that were subsidized by college football revenues,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-sports\/story\/_\/id\/29034684\/cincinnati-drops-men-soccer-program-amid-widespread-uncertainty\">like men\u2019s soccer<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wtkr.com\/sports\/old-dominion-university-discontinues-wrestling-program\">wrestling<\/a>. Smaller schools that depend on a few $1 million paydays in September from the major programs, may be left with gaping holes in their athletic budgets, threatening all sports.<\/p>\n<p>There is little doubt that changes are coming to the current model of athletic department operations through a variety of converging forces.
