[QUOTE="BCJacket, post: 501687, member: 2332"] 100% correct. I'm open to ideas for other data points. I used stadium size in addition to attendance as a proxy for facilities. But it's a very poor proxy. The attendance numbers and "Fan ratio" probably capture some of the intangible 'atmosphere' factors. As you recognized a model like this is limited by what can be quantified and is readily available data. Honestly, I started this thinking it was going to be a null result. That I was actually able to use independent data to make a model with a fairly strong correlation to the real world results for something like recruiting rankings is fascinating in itself. I do think [I]some [/I]of the geographic difference gets smoothed out by adjusting for the conference differences. The SEC, PAC12 and ACC get a boost because they're largely in sunny football loving areas. The northern and midwestern Big 10 and Big 12 schools not so much. If someone wanted to do the work, they could probably rate each state by the quality of recruits in-state and adjacent and include this in the model for each school based on their state. I'm not that someone. [/QUOTE]
