I just got through watching the one with Les recruiting for ESPN and it got me wondering. How is that fair? Just like the Oregon Duck ALWAYS being shown on there along with others I've seen.

No, im not mad, and no, i don't think ESPN hates Arkansas, I just think its unfair that they are aloud to do this for certain schools. Its great exposure for the schools represented. But you never see UGA, Florida, Michigan, Ohio State, etc.

What do you guys think?

Having your coach say "frick you motherfricker" on a ESPN commercial prolly wouldn't sit well with viewers.

Just because your teams sucks, doesn't mean they deserve the spot light in an ESPN commercial. Win something and then we'll talk.

Doesn't bother me much. A little extra exposure, but nothing to get worked up over. NCAA has enough to worry about without having to stop every conceivable slight advantage in recruiting.

Jesus, I knew this was coming. I really don't give a shite if Arkansas has a commercial. Im just pointing out that it SEEMS unfair to schools that aren't included. Do you not agree. If not, explain to me how.

Again, no one wants to see shitty teams in a commercial, and please explain how this helps an 18 year old kid decide where to play football.

Doesn't seem to matter in Oregon's case.

And by the way, I think that Petrino would be terrible in a commercial.

Maybe if your coach did something quirky, like eat grass, instead of visibly cursing on national TV or throwing a temper tantrum at midfield, he'd get a spot.

We did, still no commercial. Not one.


however, i'm not surprised. ESPN led the Cam attacks basically.

Les Miles is interesting. Richt, Muschamp, Hoke, Tressel/Fickell, and Petrino are not.

I think if your coach wasn't dropping f bombs on national tv, Arkansas might be considered for a commercial.

Your program usually has to do something worthy of the commercial.

One of these is not like the others:
USC, Florida, Oregon, LSU, Arkansas
