re: Arkansas will be 1 of 4 SEC teams needed to block entry of Texas and Oklahoma

Arkansas would benefit most from this move. They’d get even more Texas exposure. With the Big12 out of the way, Arkansas can swoop in on high end skill players that would have went to TCU, Baylor, Oklahoma State or Tech. They’d get a classic rivalry matchup back. A&M would be regulated down the pecking order, making the west more viable for the Hogs.

Arkansas really ain’t been the same in the SEC. They’ve had some good years but I really think the SWC pipeline into Texas was critical to their peak days. I agree that playing the Horns and Aggies every year is a win for Fayetteville.
