One billionaire shouldn't have to carry all the weight.

He even said after Cal was hired that fans need to pick up the slack.

He needs to retail the chickens like Raising canes does. Not wholesale them.




He’s leaving one step out.

1. He feeds the chickens.
2. He grows the chickens.
3. He breeds the grown chickens.
4. He processes the chickens.
5. He packages the chickens.
6. Then he then sells SOME OF the chickens to Graves.
7. He then retails the chi…..no he doesn’t.


He’s one step away from the American dream and he stopped short.


What if he reads this post and came up with a restaurant, say, call it Arkansas Fried Chicken. But with really good customer service toward ALL races of people.
Arky then becomes the bestest richest program in history? What if he had JB Hunt haul the chickens? Keep it in the family?

Why have I just uncovered 300 million for Arky football in 5 minutes of thinking ?

Walmart won't do it and they no longer donate to the academic side because the Chancellor they wanted hired was passed over.

Walmart wants control over the Chancellor?

Didn’t know that. I thought they still had a good employment relationship/ program with the school.

They wanted a chancellor with a background in Stem because of a potential school that they wanted affiliated with the university.

They wanted the chancellor from Utah.

But they said no and they are building a heart hospital in North Bentonville.

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

Oh. Just found this article…

quote:



A new STEM-focused university being built on the site of Walmart’s former headquarters in Bentonville aims to create a new model of higher education, officials announced during a groundbreaking ceremony Friday.

Steuart and Tom Walton, grandsons of Walmart founder Sam Walton, announced plans for the university focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics last year.

The Bentonville Institute of Technology will feature “a modern, flexible, and accessible model that combines STEM education with business, artificial intelligence, and real-world application,” according to a press release.

Yep world class.

It could have been at the university but they don't like the Waltons.

Supposedly the younger Waltons offered Arkansas $25 million in NIL but because of the chancellor issue that didn't happen.

Fayetteville is full of stupid.

Tyson said he donates 10 million to all sports and $2.5 million of that to football.

I believe this is the issue at UF too.
CFB shouldn't be about who has the most billionaire boosters though.

Most billionaires aren’t stupid enough to want to fund paying players millions to play college sports.
There is zero ROI for that.
Billionaires didn’t get rich from being stupid

The Arky Coach was wearing what appeared to be a wal mart t shirt at the game this past weekend.

What's the big problem with wal mart? Coach is giving them free advertising.

He also told a story of John Mcdonnell came to his father for money concerning his track center.

He asked for $1 million, Tyson would give him $3 million.

His father called up Frank Broyles and told him every cent of that money goes to no place but to John Mcdonnell and track.

He said every coach is responsible for raising money.
