For the most part that's true. But kids growing up these days in central/SE Arkansas, especially kids with parents who don't have time/money to take a trip to NW Arkansas on a Saturday for a game, won't be exposed to live Arkansas football games against SEC competition. Cupcakes are essentially exhibition games when your team is good, and even worse, when your team is bad it's just an embarrassment (ULM/Toledo). That's just not a recipe to breed a strong following in other parts of the state.
If I had grown up in this era in Little Rock, I probably wouldn't have caught Razorback fever as much as I did at a young age.

Fans and financial supporters are 2 different things. I do agree with the "Vast Majority" quote, but if the U of A-F allows a % of population to drift/choose a different school, over time it may add up.

Not ridiculous to think if A-State ever goes the path of Memphis, and gets into a P5, then they instantly earn credibility.
A-State coming to LR sounds like a Harbaugh move to Bert
