Hate to see a program like Arkansas simply just give up on college football program, and I am not talking about the fans. No fans should have to support absolute worthless, incompetence like that.

Is the Walton family not associated with Arkansas in any way? You would think that kind of money could really match what other rich NIL contributors at other schools have relied on.

The ones who care about sports bought NFL and NBA franchises.

The ones who would donate passively were ignored input for the chancellor hire and pulled back all donations.

The Waltons (especially one of the daughters) donates to Mizzou.

I'm sure arkansas gets a cut. But it may not be larger than the tigers. And the question is if the donation is to the university or athletics dept.

NFL owners can't donate to football NIL's. That eliminates JJ and Rob Walton. This rule was no doubt directed at Arkansas.

Jesus you clowns have to virtue signal 24/7 don't you? It was a question if they have any influence/interest in the program. That was it. No need to interject your phony self-righteous douchebaggary.

What was LSU's priorities when they shut down a historical charity hospital that served the poor population so they could steal federal funds set aside to rebuild it and instead build a new LSU hospital for themselves?

The young Watlon’s like mountain biking and has little to no interest in football.

Maybe, but we had good turnout for our games so far.

It is cool, better people have responded with actual information.

The Waltons who are interested in football bought the Denver Broncos.

Thats why Arkansas football no longer gets support from the Walton family.

We’ve had 20 straight home sellouts & $1.3B renovation coming.

Just make fun of us going 4-8 last year if you’re gonna trash us

The Waltons want to make Bentonville into an international city and that's what they're putting their money into.

They're doing some really neat things, but football isn't one of them

The Waltons have given $500 million to the academic side of the school. With the exception of Bud Waltons funding of the basketball arena in the early 90’s basically nothing to the athletic program
