Re: A&M - Arkansas renew their SWC rivalry

This certainly looks like the direction that college programs are heading - playing in major venues that are at least somewhat neutral in terms of home field advantage. The payouts are there for both teams.

I was actually just getting on the computer to talk about this so I'm glad that you've already brought this up. I'm not positive but I think they're working a deal with the Longhorns as well.

Which leads me to wonder about the future of the Razorbacks. Yeah, we've talked extensively about the Hogs joining the Big XII and yet they continue to work deals with the original SW Conference teams. I honestly believe that if there's another flurry of re-alignments in conferences (which may not happen for years) I wouldn't be the least bit suprised to find Arkansas in the Big XII. By that time we may have a much better tv contract that would hopefully compete with the SEC. Along with that, they have a new coach (if he sticks around that long) and a new AD so it's not completely out of the relm of possibility. The media down here are jumping all over the renewal with A&M along with their love affair with the Longhorns.

Do I think it's a possibility, sure, why not? Do I see it happening anytime soon, no.
