I think they're planning on winning a conference game. Or maybe even huger, getting the winning percentage above .167

Winning a game will provide a great justice to our fan base

Arkansas trying to get an edge in recruiting. It will alienate a lot of white fans.

The Waltons have donated around 500 million to the school but very little, 25 million, has gone towards athletics. Those of you who think they fund the athletic dept need to think again. There are many other very wealthy donors who do contribute millions to the various athletic programs. That’s why the school has fantastic facilities for all sports.

The Waltons themselves haven't given a lot to athletics, but many Walmart "money families" have given plenty.

The last big donation they have given was with Bud Walton back in 93 that I can remember. Besides that they could care less a bout athletics.

If they do donate then it isn't in public but would prefer not to do it as they are running a business and don't want to lose money.

They care more a bout arts such as the crystal bridges museum and biking trails...lots and lots of biking trails.

Arkansas gets lots of donations from individuals that are not from Arkansas nor have they attended the school.

They donate plenty to other aspects of the school... Waltob college of business started based on their 1998 donation and the honors college and graduate school received significant funding in 2002 with their $300 million donation with requirement for match (which was met).

True. The feminist film festival they hold in Bentonville every year makes the area a nightmare of screeching ninnies for a weekend.

I think people might be confusing this as the Waltons but there are a group of donors/families up here who made a good chunk of their money from Wal-Mart investments. Both Willard Walker and Charlie Baum (Baum-Walker Stadium) worked together for Walmart founder Sam Walton in the early days of the company. We are blessed to have so have so many great donors up here in NWA. You'd be hard pressed to find a state as poor as ours whose campus and athletic facilities are as great as ours despite never using student fees or taxes. With that being said - I'd rather have stadiums named after coaches and/or historic players but I understand the reasoning behind naming it after donors.
