First time this school has ever scheduled correctly, albeit obviously last minute

In college football, we know that a team becomes bowl-eligible when they reach six wins on the season. In tennis, a team has to be .500 or better over the course of the season to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. In order to achieve that record, the Arkansas women’s tennis program traveled to Nashville, Tennessee to play against Tennessee State after they were eliminated from the SEC Tournament.
They didn’t just play one match, though. Not two, either. Not three. Not four. Not even five. Arkansas played Tennessee State in SIX CONSECUTIVE MATCHES on Saturday, winning all six of them to bring their record to 16-16 and tournament eligibility.
This is a phenomenal story, and that’s not something you can say every day for college women’s tennis. In fact it may be the first time that Barstool has ever had the words women’s tennis and phenomenal in the same sentence. But it is, quite possibly, the biggest…and best…snake move that we have seen in college sports. It is finding loopholes at its finest. It’s the SEC at its finest. It’s rule exploitation at its finest. And I love it.

Our women’s sports are kicking arse right now so no complaints from me.
If it gets them in the NCAA tournament so be it.

Can we fire Bucknam after he fails to finish in the medal round in Outdoors?

There has to be more to the story, if not, Mike Anderson is toast at the end of the 2019 season.

our AD is so pissed at MA that he fired the tennis coach. Sounds about right!

Can we just get rid of tennis while we're at it? We have too many sports.
Posted on 5/1/18 at 11:57 pm to Stonehog
Too many sports? We have 17.
10 women’s and 7 men’s.

Why do we need that many? Why pay a coach for women's tennis?
