psst, if you were the only one then it wouldn't be a trend.
For someone to be considered a trend setter, they would have to be the first and only one to do it. When others join in on that action then they have become the trend setter.
So based on that, nowhere in the article did it make mention of Arkansas being the first to make a decision or "trend" on moving up.
Therefore it lead me to believe that they had decided to move up at the same time.
I'm sorry that I don't keep up with non-varsity athletics enough to know that Arkansas had decided roughly 3-4 weeks beforehand.

I think those sentences make more sense when you take out the bolded part. If someone is the only one then no one else is doing it. That's my understanding of the word 'only' anyway.

This is like explaining basic logic to a pre-schooler.
