You have to think about how the schedule will be though. If only aTm joins right now, then that will probably mean each West team will not play at least one team from the West each year. Otherwise, the East would have an advantage by having one less conference game per season.
When you figure that in, Arkansas would only have 2 conference games in Fayetteville if that were to happen. No way the UofA powers pull an SEC game from Little Rock in order to play a game out of state.
Right now there are only 3 SEC games each year in Fayetteville and 2 OOC. Keeping that game in Arlington will really cut in to the extra revenue that could be brought in for that 3rd conference game each season. $5mil really is not worth it when you start looking at the big picture.
I would assume that we will still play a game in Arlington, but not aTm. Would be a good place to play TCU in the future.
