OKTC -- could Arkansas be bought for $15 million?

Of course we don't believe it will happen, but ...

15 million is a paltry sum compared to how much more SEC membership will be worth in the future...

that 15 million is not one years SEC TV revenue, so I doubt it. Although having an easier way to get to a BCS game would be nice. I am willing to wait and see how the SEC super conference thing will work out because we would have the same benefit if we are in a division of A&m, Mississippi schools and Missouri.

HOg fans would literally burn down their AD's office if he even thought about this.

That would not be a smart move. The Big 12 is a house of cards and then the SEC would not take Arkansas back. They would be left in Conference USA.

Can we expect a lawsuit against the Big XII by the SEC for tampering with one of our members?

There is absolutely no chance of this happening. The entire state of Arkansas would probably cease to exist if it did. They will end up with BYU at best, possibly a SWC retread.

this is fricking hilarious. BEFORE aTm was leaving and the writing was on the wall of the future of the Big 12, not one whorn fan would even consider wanting us back OR being "worthy". Several are singing a different tune now.

They are so fricking delusional. They somehow brought us "screwing the state financially" into the equation as a reason to try to block us from leaving, yet they're now passing over several Texas schools (including UH, a public school) for BYU.

I wish I could hear the Arkansas president and AD laughing their asses off over the phone at the whorns administration when they actually attempt to do this.

they won't even bother I'm sure. It's all media hype.

I'm sure if anyone knows why Arkansas told Texas to frick off-it's Texas. they know we won't be back.

How many times does our AD have to come out and say we aren't going to leave the SEC before they get it.

A few points:

Arkansas was never a part of the Big 12.

Arkansas' top rivals in the SWC were Texas and Texas A&M.

Arkansas has zero history with the rest of the Big 12 teams.

Since 1926, we have played Oklahoma 3 times.

3 times, in the last 85 years.

Our history and fit is in the SEC, and A&M moving east only makes it more so.

This scenario is something I would expect a 5th grader to come up with.

wmr, the fifth graders being Dan Beebe and Deloss Dodds, who spread these bullshite scenarios through their media lackeys, mainly Chip Brown at Orangebloods.com

A joke of a conference.
