Around the late 90's, the SEC started focusing more effort to the Football side. When TN won the NC, basketball went away.
I think that's just when Arkansas fans starting giving up on the sport because Nolan was getting near the end of his run.
You can kinda argue the SEC has been fairly consistent when it comes to producing Championship teams since expansion.
1994 - Arkansas
1996 - Kentucky
1998 - Kentucky
2005 - Florida
2006 - Florida
2011 - Kentucky
Two or three a decade. Not dominant but not bad either when there are at least five major basketball conferences.

Wrong.
Had Arkansas fans given up, Nolan's career would not have ended in a meltdown like it did. They didn't give up, the pressure was increasing exponentially each year, the breaking point was the football team losing to UNLV in the LV Bowl.
Huh? You say? Arkansas fans are fricking dumb in that they expect the basketball team to be good when the football team sucks because that is the only time some of them will take an engaged interest in the team, but still do not follow the sport that closely.
