3x's the budget eh? Here is what I know...When Arkansas wants to build something, it gets built with a quickness. The state of Oklahoma is in a budget crisis as we speak. Oil is low, which is what they all blame it on. Oklahoma has old, run down facilities across the board. Oklahoma State has nicer facilities than OU, in fact.
OU is one of the few public universities that don't accept state aid, also OU has great facilities and is on par with about everybody but the ones like A&M who renovated in the last 5 years. OU has one of the biggest games in years vs tOSU in 2016 so they weren't going to gut the whole stadium and build a completely new press box in one offseason for a 300 mil upgrade. Lemme know when Arkansas spends 300 mil on stadium upgrades.

No they aren't. Their basketball arena is old and run down. Their baseball stadium is a dump and small. Their overall athletic facilities are shite compared to most of the SEC.

That has nothing to do with their athletic department. The same athletic department that had to scale back their original plans for expansion because the money was not there.

Arkansas is in the midst of spending over $400 million dollars on athletic facilities campus wide. I don't think you quite understand how far behind OU is in the arms race.

That game has nothing to do with their renovation. I provided you with quotes, from their administration stating that the money was not there to do the initial renovation.

You've gotta be fricking kidding me with this comment.

Arkansas clears about 17 million dollars more than Oklahoma each year. And as Hawgeye pointed out, Arkansas is currently spending 400,000,000 on athletic upgrades.
Meanwhile, down in Baton Rouge...LSU doesn't have enough money to buy out their coach's contract to fire him.
ETA: Oklahoma is running their entire athletic department on a shoestring budget. They are spending over 100,000,000 to make 10,000,000.
And LSU apparently has NO money whatsoever.
