I sit here and think about some of the field houses I've seen in ETx over the years. Naturally, Gilmer is first. It's literally better than Trinity, Kilgore, TJC or whomever... Tiny little 5K town.
I wonder, what if the UofA endowment gave back to the strategic "20" lost high school districts in Arkansas? Mena, DeQueen, Texarkana, on and on. 200K per year each annually. Surely improvements could be done. Legal?

I don't see why not.
But that would Depend upon the mission/charge of the UofA endowment.
I have no idea how far beyond campus their dollars actually stretch.
This would be a discussion to have with the Dean of your College/School of Ed, as well as community partners (e.g., superintendents, principles, community colleges).
It's worth having a chat, anyway. Grad students would be all over it for theses work, dissertation topics, and research agendae.

I am from south Louisiana and now live in Gilmer. I can say that the Gilmer ISD is the absolute best I have ever seen. The football program is also very well maintained starting in about the 6th grade, with the buckeye builder program. The kids have basically the same coaches and system from 7th grade until they graduate high school. By the time the kids get to varsity they already know the playbook and all the signals. It took Jeff Traylor (who went to UT) around 12 years to build it the way it is. I went to a 7th grade game the other day and we had a legit 1500-2500 fans in the stands. It's just amazing.
