It's our normal but it really is an 8 day event for 2500 PNMs, over 4000 members, countless alums. The logistical support for such includes dozens of police for safety, road blocks, etc., office personnel, IT support (someone has to be on duty for all that computer time), general campus support with RAs coming back earlier to man the dorms, etc. Just stop and think about it. School doesn't start till the week after recruitment ends so the campus has to gear up 2 weeks early. It ain't cheap. RTR!

Yikes, ok...

It's a lot of money to some of us, especially considering someone may drop $450 to not get a bid. Clearly they jacked up the price way up this year and made an earlier cut-off date. We're just wondering why.
