The important part is that when the AAC teams move up, we are clearly viewed as an adequate replacement.

Nationally. This is about perception. We all know the AAC will go market crazy, so we won't get that. It's about being included in the list that's important. Helps for the future

Since we're having this conversation. We contacted the AAC as well.
Can't blame us for trying.

Part of me would be very excited for that to happen just to see Fayetteville meltdown.

If the B12 would consider Ark state we should immediately begin negotiating a SB SEC merger.

Did Hudson record his presentation before he left? Maybe hired his wife to do it?

You can never get a job you don't apply for. I don't blame Ark. State for seeking this out one bit, even if their chances are 1,000,000:1. I wish App State had done this, too.
On a separate thought, it's ridiculous that a major conference would be so public about all this. It's the complete opposite of what the ACC did in going after ND, Syracuse, and Pitt, or the B1G did with Maryland and Rutgers.

I think this is all part of the public negotiation. ESPN doesn't like what we want to do, let's list 17 G5 schools as candidates ...

Yeah, they can thumb their collective noses at ESPN, but is that really good or really bad?

The thing is - the meltdown would be less in Fayetteville than the rest of the state. There are people who never went to school there, and some who never went to a game there, who would have their world view flipped on its head. This would be a true earth isn't flat moment for a select group of Arkansans.
There is a Little Rock NBC TV station that has a hogs only nightly sports on local news that is called Razorback Nation or some crap. The brainwashing runs deep.

Well, I've always been taught, and sincerly believe, that you can't win if you don't play.

End the SEC P5 monopolies in Arkansas and Louisiana. Now that would be a troll job worthy of Texas.
