Texas Tech has an oil billionaire (pretty good year so far) going through money on every program.

I’d be happy if someone just funded the big 3.

I hate Hunter, but also don’t care if we ever fund women’s sports.

Softball can stay where it's at. She's had plenty enough talent the last several years.

Every coach in every sport is probably going to say similar things unless they have the biggest budget in their sport. There’s always someone with more you’re competing against.

What coach would ever say "yeah were good to go, no more needed"?

Do politicians ever say "our campaign is good on funding, keep your money, but thanks"

Meh Texas Tech is definitely not the norm in women’s softball. Not going to sweat not being on the same financial commitment level as them.

I don’t follow UA athletics close enough to say one way or another but even Ohio State football fans complain about NIL and the fans of their basketball and baseball programs complain about not being competitive.

It's criminal we haven't done more to court the Waltons. Alice in particular is focused on making NWA a destination spot in the country. Quality athletics could be part of her goal if we made the pitch correctly.

Seems like Ryan understands this at least, so maybe he can get it done.

She is trying to cover up her DUI, so when you google her it doesn’t show that it shows her philanthropic things.

The grand kids are trying to make this destination spot, because they failed on being able to move the HQ to NYC like they wanted to. Just like the Tyson daughter who thought she was a fashionista. Now they are paying for drag queen story hour and trans bullshite in schools.

What a stupid thing to say. My daughter ran track and cross country at Arkansas. Two sports have actually performed and brought championships to Arkansas. You should be ashamed.
