Wal-Mart, Jerry Jones, Fed-Ex.

Is it because of the very limited talent in the state?

They should be crushing NIL.

What am I missing?

Kicking arse in baseball this year tho.

The city of Austin alone has 33,000 millionaires. Turns out most of them don’t want to spend that on high schoolers.

I mean...Arkansas is pretty good in ALL sports outside of Football lately...so, not sure what you are getting at?

Has an SEC athletic department won more SEC titles in the last 5 or so years?

Very few Walmart execs are from Arkansas and the Walton kids aren't big on sports from what I've heard.

The perception that Walton money is a big part of Arkansas sports is wrong. Bud Walton contributed 15 million to help build the basketball arena, but he's been dead for years.

Biting noses in stadium parking lot. Entering absolute strangers' apartments and passing out in their bed.

Wild.

Arky could have an unlimited war chest if Wal-Mart was on board.

Honestly, a big problem is the boosters can never be on the same page. They all want “their” guy for a coach, and if it ain’t, they won’t support ($$$) the coach as much as they should.

Tyson Chicken is spending money to get Cal here. And also at least $5 million a year in NIL. We’ve got big money if they’ll spend it.

That won't happen because one of the Walton kids spend money on bike trails which most people from Arkansas don't care for.

Yeah, like these threads show how little knowledge the other sec fanbases have.
