The Texas Longhorns spared no expense in their pursuit of No. 1 overall recruit Arch Manning this summer.
Manning's commitment also brings an almost incalculable value to Texas. He's their biggest quarterback recruit since Vince Young in 2002 and will likely be on the roster when Texas joins the SEC. Manning should also be in line for huge name, image and likeness deals considering the following the Longhorns have and the lack of professional teams in the area.The Athletic broke down – as much as they could – where and how Texas spent all of the $280,000 that weekend.
$3,359.12 on speaker rentals for photo shoots at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium an the Moncrief-Neuhaus Athletic Center.$11,880 on an open bar for the recruits' parents.$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.$31,628.75 bar tab for the parents at the W Austin hotel.
The expediture will be noteworthy because of the six figures, but it's unclear where this weekend ranks among what other schools have spent on other recruitment trips in the past. And when Manning joins the Longhorns in 2023, people will forget how much money Texas spent if he succeeds in Austin.
