Insulting billionaire potential boosters is probably not a good NIL strategy.

Dearest Arkansas,

Boosters treat their donations as advertising dollars. They want a return on their investment.

It is ridiculous, after 15 years of program mismanagement, with zero reciprocity, to expect them to continue to fund futility.

There is no value add.

Bratty entitlement is a losing game.

Once they lose John Daly, they just need to hang it up for good.

Poor Arky. It was funny when kU’s program cratered, but for Arky it’s just sad. Our pretend rivalry used to be more fun

The Waltons haven't donated to the academic side in four years.

No Waltons.

No Lindseys.

I miss Arkansas. The conference is better when they're better.

I would start supporting Perdue Chikns out of Maryland and teach that Tyson guy a lesson.

He doesn’t want Arky to compete in football.

I honestly thought that between the Waltons and all of the corporate entities in NW AR, Tyson and Jerry Jones, that Arkansas would have a sizeable NIL/collective to bolster their athletics.

Tyson loves basketball. Jerry Jones... well the last time he was a really major contributing factor to Arkansas football he pushed for Chad Morris to be hired.

And the Waltons are locked in a blood feud with the Board of Trustees. They'll win eventually, the Walton family has a lot of projects to spend their money on, while the BoT is already taking some shots for a variety of reasons.

That would take an AD and a BOT with vision and zeal.

Why would your BoT engage in a feud with your (potential) largest possible donors?

That’s insane.

It is amazing to me that the Waltons don’t care about Arkansas at all.

They aren't true Arkansans.

The younger ones are not from Arkansas.

Nancy is one of three finalists to purchase the NBA expansion team in Las Vegas. Projected purchase price? $12-13 bln. That’s billion. Billion.

Walton's have given quite a bit to Mizzou over the years. Weird.
