NIL proves once again it has changed the game and tradition alone is becoming a nonfactor. If you have the money you can get what you want. Tradition rich but not so wealthy schools are worried.

1 booster is controlling this at the moment. A basketball team is easier than a football team. Our big donors aren’t going to give any more to football because of this. Would be cool if it did wake some up but they’d have to get someone way better than Sam.

It seems the money folks aren’t as invested in football as much as basketball. It used to be that the head football coach was always paid more than the other coaches no matter what, that pissed Richardson off, times have changed.

We haven’t had a big money booster step up for football like what just happened, maybe this will open some more coin purses now…..

Do you know that Cal is now a washup basketball coach? Very similar to football coach Brian Kelly. Both don't seem to have it in them to win a championship. Cal already won one and he seems to get lazy and is not motivated to win another one.

Hello made up Alabama fan Shaft Williams. Where is Arkansas going to get another huge sack of cash to hire a new football coach?

Arkansas went all in on basketball.

Yes, they will probably hire some other washed old dude whose current school thanks them profusely for doing them a favor

Let me ask...not trolling..but if this football is the same as the last..and Sam has to go, I want to honestly and legally ask this question. CAN BOBBY P be rehired as the HC? I know his termination ultimately came down to lying and manipulating equal opportunity regulations. Is this written in stone? Or for certain? I am curious..because that bit of knowledge will shape your program for the near future.

Are you implying Arkansas does not have a strong tradition in basketball?

No one is arguing this. But Cal knew he was on a very short lease at Kentucky and it's simply disingenuous to leave out a major part of Cal's decision-making.

Not the case... They just killed football. Any coach worth a salt in the SEC will want to be the top program in the schools AD. Ark just said Basketball is our priority.

Remeber the clash between UK football and UK basketball over UK being a basketball school.
