It would, I just don’t see the Walton’s caring about football until it finally spins off from the university and they can own it like a NFL team.


I think they are starting to see the indirect impact it has on their business and the business college. I don’t have the numbers but both Bama and Colorado saw significant enrollment growth from football investments (one based on winning and the other was hype). We saw what happened with basketball from a brand standpoint. It’s not just about bragging rights but what winning programs bring to the area overall.

The Arkansas meeting with James Franklin was very sloppy.

They had zero plan on how to proceed forward as a program in this era. The meeting was disorganized and they repeatedly had no answers for James' questions.

It was night and day vs what Virginia Tech presented to James.

I could absolutely see this, but I'm not sure I'm believing a random Penn State fan with 5K followers on Twitter.

I heard from a podcast once, that Saban could get paid $50m and it would be undervaluing his impact on just Tuscaloosa

The fact it sounds plausible speaks volumes

Plus it’s from an outside source with nothing to gain

Pretty much how I feel. I could see Hunter being in over his head, but I can’t see a Penn State fan knowing about it.

I am gonna put my head in the sand and not believe a random Penn State twitter account. But if it turns out to be true, I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised.

Wasn't Hunter supposed to be fired by now and Kevin Scanlon hired as AD?

If someone has a blue checkmark on Twitter, there's always something to be gained: clicks and attention. That being said, maybe dude has a connection with the Franklin camp. I would be far from surprised if it's true.

If you’ve been on X any, you know that guy hates Arkansas fans

As far as I know we never had any formal meeting with Franklin

No doubt in my mind that HY could have jacked up the interview.

But I'm growing increasingly untrusting of literally anything on social media at this point.

I've been expecting us to jack this up from the get-go so anything reporting that is par for the course.......

Don't know how to link from X but Jakota Sanisbury said Dabo was interviewed. Not sure if this guy has legit sources or just making crap up.

He’s a troll don’t listen to him. He also posted a few days ago how Arkansas was hiring Odom and Petrino as co HC.

I’m trusting of the 65%+ of Twitter being rage bots.

Same dude said Cristobal from Miami was interviewed. I have nothing to go on until the University actually announces it.


I honestly hope and pray LSU gets burned by Kiffin by staying at OM.

Read the comments on any of his posts about coaches connected to Arkansas and you’ll understand he’s doing it for the lulz
