  1. What's weird is there was always old money here but new money never moved in. Now, though, it's become a 2nd/3rd home spot or a landing spot for wealthy retirees. Central Bentonville's entry point is $1M, which I find bizarre. Even just 10 years ago, you could live there, make decent money, and live fairly cheap. Now with Central Bentonville at $600/SF, that ship long sailed. Tear downs are like $800K. None of these people give two shits about Arky athletics, though. They're all from somewhere else.
  2. Yeah, I meant to say basketball. John Tyson never gave any money until Cal, who he's friends with or something. Maybe the AD and the new coach will get the whales to whale but they've never done that in the past.
  3. Did not know that. I always wondered why he wasn't involved. If they finish the season anywhere close to respectable, they'll hire Petrino because it'll be cheap and the fans love him because he won 10 games there literally 15 years ago.
  4. Business school is on par with any of the other Big States in the region except that it's a feeder to WMT, Tyson, Hunt, and all of the various suppliers. As a result, you can get really good internships that lead directly to what you're doing. Half of Arky is from out of state and half of those are from Texas. Ton of Texas move ins as well. You are also correct about no out of state tuition if you hit some easy to hit metrics. The economy of Fayetteville depends on getting as many kids as humanly possible. With the waiver, they're generally cheaper than the other comparable schools in the region. Dog on the state of Arkansas all you want. It hits all of the stereotypes. The two counties in the Northwest part of the state are awesome, though. Ton of money there now to the point it's as expensive or more than a lot of big cities.
  5. Yeah, college sports. Their name is on the business school but not since Bud Walton has any of them cared about college sports or Arky in particular.
  6. If Hugh Freeze can get hired after using the school phone to line up whores, anyone can get hired. Hell, Sark's background isn't great. Petrino can't get hired as a HC because he sucks at being a head coach.
  7. Yeah, I meant to type basketball but went brain dead. John Tyson and Cal are tight. Tysons don't care about football for whatever reason.
  8. The Waltons are completely disinterested in sports and the Tysons care about track and (now) football. Jerry has always chipped in for coach buyouts but seems disengaged from the NIL game. Not sure why.
  9. Marine veterans should have guns. Obviously, right?
  10. That's basically it and Arkansas isn't serious about football in regards to NIL. Their money goes to basketball and baseball and for some reason, their fans still see themselves as a "football school." Unless they step up their NIL game, that's a complete dead end job. Brutal schedules, no instate talent, hit or miss fan base, etc.
  11. When the shot tracer started, I was like "WTF" until I realized what he was doing then was like "holy shit."
  12. Miss State has a player named Fluff Bothwell?
  13. I wonder if their entire school and fan base will be bitching about the refs all week now. Literally 17 sacks in two games.
  14. Barn likely goes 6-6 or something like that this season. Does Freeze get fired and what new school will Arnold go to and suck?
  15. Imagine being the OU offensive coaching staff last year and thinking you should base your entire offense and your personal financial future on Jackson Arnold.
  16. Not only that but they had Arnold in their system for a solid year.
  17. They've got some whales, actually. Outside of Jerry, they don't care about football at all. Jerry had always floated coach buyouts but I'm not sure how much he plays in the NIL world.
  18. It was the other way around. They passed on Arky, or at least Kiffin did. Pittman was basically the only one that wanted the job and he had never been more than a position coach for his entire career. Nice guy but wholly unqualified.
  19. He's right about Arky NIL money. They're not committed to football. Still a better job than Okie State, though.
  20. He's missed fewer than 20 games exactly one season in his entire career. He missed an entire season once. Most games played 70. Second most is 61. Third most is 30. Literally 30.
  21. What did you pay? Wife wants to do one but we haven't looked into it yet. $15K for the two of us. The longer ones cost a bit more, obviously. Cost covers literally everything except getting there. (Food, booze, excursions, etc.)
