what if I told you that Pooh was offered 350 grand elsewhere and we offered less thant 200 to keep him.

Now, what If I told you that a QB like KJ got just a tad under 1 mil last season at Arkansas... And him leaving frees up some cash...

Folks, College football is OVER. I mean literally over. Three of our players have been offered double what we have been paying them this season.

At what point does this end? In what world did we ever think a college football player would be paid a million bucks a year to represent the Arkansas Razorbacks.

It is the wild, wild west out there and we are left with a pea shooter... fighting bazookas. Unbelievable!

I agree with the sentiment but we pay our head coach $6.5 million/year and he had 74 less tackles than Paul had this season.

who cares? This is the new world. The market is what others are willing to pay and obviously others want to win. If we want to run with the big dogs you gotta open up the pocketbook. Don’t bitch about lsu, alabama, and A&M spending more money. Spend with them. If Mississippi state and ole miss can do it somehow I’m sure arkansas could find a way if they really wanted too

Pay the players what it takes to keep the ones that are worth it and stop paying inept coaches millions.

If NIL isn't going to be regulated, then we have no chance in outbidding other SEC programs that have more resources (money).
