Rumor: Ark to Big 12...
- Thread starter sardis
- Start date
While I do think Arkansas would be better off in the Big 12 for recruiting purposes and ability to win big, they won't ever leave. Unless something changes with other leagues getting the truckloads of revenue that the SEC is getting, no one will leave the league. You don't turn down the SEC paycheck, especially now. It has been the sweetest deal for a while financially, but the ESPN deal has put the SEC in a whole new ballpark compared to the rest of the country.
you're not thinking like an Arkansas fan, who have perhaps the dumbest fanbase in the SEC, and yes, dumb enough to leave the SEC despite the facts.

my arguement for Tulane. It would be good to have another Mississippi school in the SEC.
or we would add Tulane to balance out having a private, strong academic school in each conference.
I vote for adding Tulane.

Of course they would have to start giving a **** about their athletics if this happened and put a financial emphasis on em.
same paycheck split less ways sounds good to me, take out the divisions and go Big 10 style.
On a serious note, Arky is going nowhere.

Did Tulane need permission from the State of Mississippi to open branches within its boundaries? It seems odd to me that an out-of-state university, private or not, is allowed to compete with Mississippi institutions, in the state, for tuition money. Surely the state gets a cut of the money, right?
I think the city of Madison approached Tulane about it, though. Then they had an informal community interest vote, and apparently it was enough for them to come on up to Madison.
Because of how they left the first time there is no way they would get voted back in unanimously. State and Ole Miss would both block and I would expect other schools to do it as well.AzzurriDawg4 said:
Clempson would be the best match in my opinion.
