Louisville, mind you, is the poster child for a low tier sports program slowly building to success. When it comes to sustained growth and overall level of success not even Boise State can really compare to what the Cardinals have done over the last 25 years.
And they're broke.
As others have said, this model is not sustainable.
If a program has a drop in revenue, which is entirely possible, Universities don't have the financial resources to prop them up now. Even good sized schools are barely hanging on at the moment.

re: Great quote about Kiffin teaming up with Coach O..Been friends for 25 years!! Great COMBO!

Thanos lost.
Hmm, Coach O back at LSU. Well, it's Coach O. Back in the day he was a below average game day coach but an incredible recruiter. Now we get to Sixty Thousand Dollar question... are his amazing recruiting skills still applicable in the modern era?
College football is going through what ground warfare is going through at the moment. Everything older than a few years ago is obsolete. A small number of Ukrainians with drones can mop the floor with elite NATO forces much larger than them. They routinely do so in training exercises.
In college football schools that historically went to bowl games once every two or three decades can build juggernauts that molest even mighty Alabama.
If Coach O can adapt his unique style to NIL and get financial backing he can build a championship team practically over night. If not... well... the local strip clubs in Baton Rouge are going to see an avalanche of business.

Not that long ago Fayetteville would have been towards the bottom of the list. The growth of NW Arkansas is almost Borg like "You will be assimilated."

Roughneck, we had 4 mares, 1 bull and 2 calves stolen from our levee pasture last night. Prices being up a bit makes that a bit more of an occupational hazard, I guess. Be vigilant.
Oh damn. Man I'm sorry to hear that.

Australia has its appeal. They kind of speak the same language. The coastal area is lovely. I like that you are required to vote and if you don't you get fined. Considering Australia drifts between center (centre) right and center left that actually seems to work pretty well.
However... Everything there kills you. The entire country catches fire like twice a year. And, most importantly, a 3PM football game in Sydney would be on at 6AM. I need a few hours to get into proper game time mode.
Man, basketball and baseball did some serious lifting for us this year.

Haven't quite got the ladies team back to where it was but not a bad result in this conference.

1. Arkansas - 110.5
It isn't the sheer monstrous force it used to be but the men's team is starting to get some mojo going from season to season.
The Big 10 would happily take Vanderbilt over most of the SEC conference.

re: Flashback- In 1992 Arkansas’ departure for the SEC dropped the axe on the old SWC
Posted by Arksulli on 5/15/26 at 9:40 am to Summer of Jimbo
It did cripple Arkansas football, losing constant access to our prime recruiting ground really stung. But we didn't have a choice. The SWC was in a death spiral and playing musical chairs. You really didn't want to be left without a chair.
It is odd how things work out. Ole Miss went to bat for us because we had renewed our rivalry with them and they could attest our facilities were up to par.
Down the road Arkansas did the same thing for A&M.

Missouri, as a state, is crazy for baseball. I wonder if the two pro teams just suck all the oxygen out of the room.

How are the lodgings? Well other than the view. A friend is a scientist/author in the UK and she vacations in Italy and Greece like twice a year. And based on the pictures she posted they look like small but extremely comfortable places to spend time.

re: Arkansas re-instates tennis

While he was a welcome replacement for Jeff Long, Hunter has stepped on his pecker a lot. Particularly recently.
Most crocodilians, unless they are heavily specialized, are quite good at bouncing back from population reduction.
The American Alligator is even better at it than their cousins. They have a super varied diet. They can even survive having their ponds freeze. Now that people aren't actively killing them crazy they recover quickly to fill their old niche. Half of the state is prime Alligator territory.
Mother Nature settled on the perfect design for the Gator hundreds of millions of years ago and it still works just fine today.

I was OK with tennis being gone if it helped us afford to land a few stud D-linemen.
Both Tennis programs cost less than the spare change our football program leaves between the couch cushions. We weren't getting any stud D-linemen out of them being cut, we were trying to help pay off overly ambitious building programs and some fat payouts to fired coaches.

Dude. Everyone hates the Whorns. Every team in the SWC had Texas as their most hated rival just because they despised UT.
Then the Big 12 rolled around and within a decade or so only the most heated rivalries could measure up to the joy people took from beating Texas.

I still can't believe they are putting Kansas vs Mizzou on Friday night.
My friend, you are having a bad day. Wander away from the computer for a bit. I think the phrase "touch some grass" is crap, but it might be time to go watch something on TV.
