CONFERENCE PRESTIGE
-----------------------------------------------
What conferences have the recruiting juice this year? The SEC, Big-12 and ACC
remain the clear top 3, while the Big 10 has slid a bit in recent years with
the loss of some high-profile coaches. The Big East has continued to improve
year-over-year for the past 3 or 4 seasons. It is now within striking distance
of the Big 10.
SEC: 202.0
ACC: 198.7
Big 12: 195.8
Big 10: 183.5
Big East: 178.9
Pac 10: 169.3
Good luck to all in recruiting, unless you see a "VA" by one of your targets,
of course!
