Are you even reading what I post? Especially when you add the fact that it's been that way since it was first possible.

Bottom line, Arky needs the SEC more than the SEC needs Arky. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. I don't care how many times you want to reference money or TV ratings, if Long wants to get into a dick measuring contest...he will lose.

The 3 sports that generate revenue are Baseball, Football, and Basketball. Arkansas has very few championships of any kind in those 3 sports since being in the SEC.
Answers have been posted on this board before and it's more than you realize.

2. Your schools endowment benefits your own school more than the SEC... winning bowl games and championships benefits the SEC. Something Arkansas does not dominate in, and your level of success could be easily replaced by another middle tier school.
Stop! Endowment was NEVER USED. You totally lost that argument. We are talking ATHLETIC REVENUE ONLY.
quote:
3. You would lose gained revenue from bowl games, since the SEC splits up the bowl revenue and divides it among the conference. And the SEC goes to more bowls and generates more bowl game revenue than any other conference.
New contracts create new laws. ABC would love for FSU and Arkansas to cut into SEC country while cutting off Mizzou and TAMU with hellish travel distances.
quote:
4. You are not a charter member and were invited to join the SEC. If you don't like it, then leave. I can guaran damn tee you we won't beg you to stay. Our conference is strong, and few schools would turn down the chance to become your replacement.
Means nothing now and you should realize this. As of today Missouri has the same voting rights as Alabama.

So nothing, you said your traditions go way back when it's pretty well known Arkansas entered the SEC in 1992. Hence "since it was first possible". It's a tradition, not gonna argue with you, wanna be hard headed go for it. 20 years, from Day 1 in the SEC, it is one.

Just stop it. There is no buying. It's just the truth. Ask any Arkansas fan what game on the schedule they circle ever year, you are going to get Alabama from 95% of them.

Just curious but what makes you think profit of the AD is that big a deal to the SEC as a whole? Do you really think Arkansas is more important to the SEC than Tennessee??

I'm just telling you that nobody in BR sees that as "tradition" they see it as "forced" and no LSU fan has ever circled the Arkansas game when the schedule comes out.
Truth.
A&M is going to a much bigger rivalry.
Hell, I started a thread on the Rant, asking who people thought was our traditional rivals, and aTm got more mentions than Arkansas. This was before aTm was even in the conference.

Wrong.
That was all true in 1992. Arkansas needed the money just as we need to play in Little Rock.
Arkansas doesn't need the SEC money when the Big12 money would be equal with FSU and Arkansas.
The game has changed. Teams like Missouri, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and MSU need the SEC money as they aren't anywhere close to Arkansas.
Arkansas' Athletic budget doubles Ole Miss and MSU with equal TV split.
That is really sad.

Not to hijack this fantastic thread, but allow me to guffaw for a moment at Tennessee's $14,000.
Ok. Carry on.

You do realize we were in the SEC before 1992 right? We really don't care about 1992.

Equal.
LSU, Alabama, UGA and Florida are ahead of us.
If you are bringing in a new member you want to look at their fan base support, athletic revenue, debt and history.
Prime example people don't realize this but WVU was in the BigEast and made more money than Missour in the Big12. They are about to erupt on the scene with more money as the support is obviously there to strengthen the Big12.

No shite? How do you think you build a tradition? Time. Max allowed time for this scenario: 20 years. Years completed: 20 years. Technically 21 years since Long said 2012-2013 schedule has LSU has final game.

Proving the SEC money is only 1/3 of the revenue stream when looking at Net Worth of a program.
You would certainly think SEC money would bring MSU and Ole Miss into respectability and it sure hasn't.
