I applaud success in all athletics but I was pointing out to Arkansas fans that it was their solid football program that put them in one of the top two leagues.
Proves how little you actually know about what you're spewing. At the time Arkansas joined the SEC, we had one of the few self-sustaining athletics departments in the country. We ran in the black. We had a basketball program that emerged from the Eddie Sutton Glory Days and rolled right into the Nolan Richardson Glory Days - a 25 year span that had us in the Top 10 in wins over that time frame. Football was coming off back-to-back SWC championships. Track and Field was in the midst of a run never seen in ANY sport (not Oregon T&F... Not UNC soccer...). Other, non-revenue sports were holding their own.
JFB was able to sell Arkansas as a solid TOTAL athletics department that made money and brought with it a brand and a region that the SEC could leverage for more money. Football was part of the equation, but if we were just football and nothing else, we would have been passed over.

2 schools irrelevant in any sport that matters. That’s how much the Directors Cup is worth. Zero!
Nobody gives a frick about water polo and basket weaving and the cup includes sports like this.
They also do not have a water polo or basket weaving team, so not sure what point you're trying to make there...
quote:You realize this challenge is required to count several of the sports you consider that "matter", right? In particular, it must count baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball and women's volleyball
It’s a completely worthless challenge.

You got me on rc cola. I have not seen that stuff in years.
You would love Anne's kitchen. Great food and service.
German Village is another. I forget its whole name but it is a nice place.

This shows the difference between the SEC and the wannabe conferences. In the SEC only Championships matter where Ohio state is just happy to be ranked.

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

That makes no sense, Ohio St didn't win the Director's Cup.

I never said they did. Only pointing out how jealous some people can be.

Jealous of not winning anything?

I think it is silly to be jealous but it happens all the time.

I’m starting to believe you’re really this stupid and not just trolling. If football was all we had, we don’t get in. We got the invite because the league saw a well rounded program that could add value to the league.

One cup no one gives a shite about.
