Due to the Little Rock game and the Aggie game, we only play 2 SEC games in Fayetteville this year.
And in 2021 and 2023. Our admins really stepped on a rake with the Mizzou deal in Little Rock being the same years when we're the home team in Dallas. Can't believe they actually did that.

But, my hope is that ticket sales are so weak that the ADs opt not to sign an extension.
Only had about 56,000 seats sold last year (in a 100,000-seat stadium) and just north of 64,000 the season before.
So yeah, well on its way.

I think it's safe to say both teams want it to be home and home at this point. One could have made the argument that the game was a win for Arkansas to have a yearly game scheduled in Texas (Dallas) recruiting wise. But both teams are feeling the burn of losing a home game every other year now.
As mentioned, this arrangement made sense when we first scheduled the game while A&M was in the Big 12. Since then I believe Jerry negotiated to have an initial home and home for the first two seasons that A&M joined the SEC (in 2012 and 2013) but then renewed the decade long arrangement starting in 2014.
TL;DR - only 5 more years to go. Thanks Jerrah.

I think you nailed it. Good post.

Ross Bjork is on TexAgs radio this morning and he just addressed this issue. He said the deal is up in 2024, and he wants to have 4 SEC home games every year, not every other year. So, if we stay with an 8 game schedule, I think the neutral site deal will not be extended, at least if Bjork is making the decision.
