We do in multiple sports.

Don't let the door knob hit ya where the good Lord split ya on the way out. I thought Arky didn't care about the LSU game and we weren't rivals?

There are solid programs like Clemson and G-Tech but they don't turn the same revenue stream or demand the same TV audience. You could easily replace with a lessor quality school. Which waters down the SEC.

I don't care too much when we play LSU, but it is kind of a tradition now and can be a very meaningful game to end the season.
I'd rather them not frick with it, LSU in the middle of the season would just be weird as hell to me.

Somehow I don't think is going to go the way you hoped....

I have no problem playing Missouri and welcome the idea but taking away our LSU Thanksgiving game and giving to the Aggies should start a fun fight, or at least I would. Business is fricking fun!
ABC would love if Arkansas and FSU joined the Big12 and cut into SEC country. You would then have 2 conferences that cut into each other across the entire southern part of the country. Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, MSU, Texas A&M and Missouri never get the ratings. Just as K-State, Kansas, Tech, Baylor and TCU wouldn't either.
This isn't 1992 Arkansas that was begging for the SEC money, ha. We are providing the SEC with a shite ton of money now. It sure would be fun for Jeff Long to throw his weight around in the boardroom. It would also be fun to leave TAMU and Missouri on the extreme fringe with hellish travel distances.
This is how you threaten to keep the LSU game. SEC wants to add Clemson go ahead that is a large loss in the pocket book, SEC Titles/National Championships and strengths another conference while watering down the SEC.
Being an AD of a school in Top 10 would be damn fun to negotiate with.
Maybe you could go there, recruit pussies for QBs, and win a conference championship.
I say it's a good move and long overdue.

Oh, yes he could. I've met him on multiple occasions. He himself is a shark just like JFB. We should be very proud to have him as an AD.

No one here could say losing Arkansas and picking up Clemson or either Tech is an upgrade, lol.
IF so, stay in manufacturing.

If Jeff Long thinks a move would be good, then he needs to move his own butt.

Nah, they would be about the same.
UNC would be an upgrade.
