Probably cuz we're the flagship I guess. NFL might be calling us next.

ARKANSAS:During last summer's realignment, a third party extended feelers to see if the Big 12 would be interested in adding Arkansas, sources said. Arkansas officials adamantly denied ever expressing any interest in being in the Big 12. But if Arkansas were to express interset in the Big 12, it appears the league would be receptive to an application for membership from the Razorbacks, sources said.

If A&M leaves, the Big 12 will most likely target one university as a replacement. Its wish list, in order of preference, is Notre Dame, Arkansas and Brigham Young, according to a person with firsthand knowledge of the Big 12’s discussions.

whoa

that's the solution

drop Arkansas, add Aggy

no need for any east/west realignment, and no need for a 14th team

Its absurd.

I was talking to a Longhorn grad (from Ohio, no less) the other day in DFW and he brought up the possibility of inviting Arkansas.

Ask any Arkansas fan and the answer isn't just "NO", but "HELL F*ck NO!"

why would ark leave the best conference in america for one that might be dissolved within 5 years?

anyone who mentions ark in an article on expansion doesn't know what they are talking about.

yep, it's more ridiculous than suggesting Notre Dame. We've repeatedly said it's not happening, not sure why big 12 and national media doesn't just accept it.

The fact that Longhorn is suggesting it just shows their arrogance.

I'd be all for dropping Arkansas and adding Clemson.

Cause over the last twenty years you've shown yourself to beabsolutely no threat to existing powers through your inability to actually win a conference title?

pretty sure we went to a BCS bowl last year toothless. Guess again?

Arkansas DID NOT EVER EXTEND ANYTHING to the BIG 12 other than a LAUGH and we are not going anywhere especially now.

They just can't understand why ND, Arky or BYU wouldn't jump at a chance to be in a conference with Tejas........

No. What I said was factual ya ozark mountain cousin fricker. Twenty years without a conference title and 30 years without a top ten finish means no one thinks you're a threat.


obviously you do or you wouldn't post in every Arkansas related thread, hogsessor.

Nope, an Alabama fan that watched your best team in two decades lose to a rebuilding bama team. Also, we had our third straight top ten finish. Feels nice.

seriously, when the only thing you have in twenty years to hang your hat on is a loss to ohio state in a bowl game, what does that say about your program?

What just a complete load of shite the BIG 12 has become. Every member institution is scratching the whorn's a$$.

If ND will join, if Pitt will join, but Pitt requires ND to join . . . whatever DISSOLVE and Go D2
