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.
I keep hearing this argument. My translation is this:
Poor people can only afford going to SEC games at WMS. The non conference games are below us.

They need to get LR kids eligible first. There is some legit D1 talent in LR and eastern AR. Problem is they either don't play or are ineligible to play football.
