Don’t get the Arkansas hype I see TCU but to me that even weaker with Texas and Oklahoma leaving

I don't see either.

TCU has always made their bread and butter off underrated guys with great athletic gifts. They have been able to develop great defensive guys under Patterson, but Dykes is an offensive guy and has never been known for defense with his teams.

Arkansas has never been know for sending players to the NFL, especially on defense. I mean it's cool they got a 5 star transfer that was stuck behind elite players at Bama drafted in the 3rd round, but that's their 2nd example of doing anything good defensively in the draft recently. The other is Agim back in the 2020 draft, but that was under a prior coach.

NFL aside, I guess TCU could be a top dog in the Big 12 after the 2 recruiting giants leave, but honestly, with Houston, UCF, and Cincinnati now with power 5 status, Texas Tech becoming good at recruiting and building a nice team, K State and Kansas with promising coaches (who might be on the move after another year though), and the regulars who have their highs and lows, who knows how good they will actually be.

Arkansas even with divisions being erased, I don't see them being a 10-2 type team ever especially now that Texas and Oklahoma will be in. At worst you'll play 3 top 15 recruiting teams every year.

Facilities, no. Pedigree, no. Money, no (Jerry Jones doesn't seem like he cares as much). I can understand if he were in Texas or in Arkansas, but he's obviously not.

Weird, very weird.
