We have the richest family in America, most of whom have their primary residence 25 miles north of campus.

But they are uber rich, which means they truly don't give a shite about something as banal as college sports. They float above it, never mention it, and spend their money on other things like starting private colleges, funding art museums, and transforming Arkansas into a world-class mountain biking destination, and getting full National Park designation for the Buffalo River area.

The second generation guys attended Arkansas. Alice didn't. All of the third generation attended small liberal arts schools out of state.

I would expect the second and third generations of Jerry Jones money to act the same.

But how the heck did other football programs come up with all that money? Must it be the State isn't as populated as others and have rich football traditional that their fans willing to pitch in at all costs?

If the Waltons really cared about sports especially football, we would have seen it especially in the recruiting classes but they don't care which is a shame.

However Johnelle Hunt is a huge fan of basketball and baseball.

You can see it in the recruiting classes of both sports.
