^^This^^.....I live here, there is a boat load of $$ here in Northwest Arkansas. Walmart, Tyson Foods, and JB Hunt corporate offices all within about 20 miles of each other. It all depends what they want to invest in.ToledoCat#3 wrote: ↑March 23rd, 2024, 10:11 pmWally World execs and owners have as deep a pockets as any if they decide to "invest" in Arky sports.
President Bush is an SMU guy or at least fan. Somehow (He is close friends with Dusty Baker and a few other baseball guys) he and Eric Musselman seem like an odd pairingbhoovy wrote: ↑March 23rd, 2024, 10:19 pmMaybe. But the fact that SMU went to their 10 biggest donors and got them to pony up (no pun intended) $1 billion for them to make the move to the ACC, since they agreed to the terms of not taking any tv revenue for like 8 or 9 years to be a part of the ACC, which probably won’t be around in a few years. So if they’re willing to put up that kind of money to be a part of a more superior conference, I’m sure they’ll plop down more to try and be as competitive in that new conference as they can be. And going after a higher profile coach would likely be on the agenda. Along with big NIL $$ to buy the best players they can.ToledoCat#3 wrote: ↑March 23rd, 2024, 10:11 pmWally World execs and owners have as deep a pockets as any if they decide to "invest" in Arky sports.

And if the ACC falls apart in the near future, those guys might be a bit upset.bhoovy wrote: ↑March 23rd, 2024, 10:19 pmMaybe.

Just think... if SMU could've just waited a few decades, and then they could have paid their players when it was legal. They'd never would've had their program shut down!!spot2180 wrote: ↑March 25th, 2024, 6:27 amAnd if the ACC falls apart in the near future, those guys might be a bit upset.bhoovy wrote: ↑March 23rd, 2024, 10:19 pm
