Chad Morris to Arkansas

[Legalman72]

I've done work for Arky. Their facilities are on par with the top programs in the country, far better than ours or the taters.

[I Bleed Garnet]

Case in point, Arkansas can do a whole lot better

[Legalman72]

Chad Morris would crawl through glass, tonight, for that job.

No. I don't like the layout of Razorback stadium compared to Williams Brice. Not a fan of the open endzone even though you have a great videoboard. I also favor the ramps at the Brice to the zig zag zteps at Arkansas. I'm not saying the Arkansas stadium is bad. I'm just defending the idea that Arkansas is light years ahead of Carolina. I'm not saying the stadium is all of the facilities but it is part of it and in my opinion a big and important part.

Then you should say, "I don't like Razorback stadium, I like Brice better". In your best unbiased voice of course.

[cockymac]

I'm told that taternet is reporting this is a done deal. I don't go to that site, so I don't know if its true.

Do your homework, and please keep up.

Statistically speaking, between 2006-2011 revenue between Arky & USC athletic departments are close. $91 mil (Arky) to $83 mil (USC).

$8 million difference, but factor in that Arkansas has the benefit of that BCS bowl appearance (although I think much of that money is shared with conference) and several wealthy billionaire boosters...I think the fact that USC is not that far off is remarkable.

A couple years ago we were in the top ten most valuable college football programs. Right up there with Tex, ND, BAMA. Ill try to find that again and share

still not telling me about this awesome hog history in football........ USC and Arky have been pretty even in the 2000's. UT is one of the most winning teams in history(it pains me to say it). that is a rich football history. Arky is not(sorry Hog, I like you though bud). having money and how you spend it are two different things. please try and keep up.

Here is the crap you are talking about from forbes:
The biggest change since 2009 belongs to eighth-ranked University of Arkansas, whose football program climbed 59% in value over the past two years. Several key factors influenced this growth. The first is that Arkansas played in the Sugar Bowl last year, securing the SEC an $18 million payout. Arkansas also added another revenue stream in the form of the “Southwest Classic” rivalry game with Texas A&M. The century-old rivalry was reintroduced two seasons ago after an 18-year hiatus and has generated additional revenue for both teams. Finally, Arkansas increased ticket prices by $10 for SEC games and introduced a new seating equity plan that increased contribution levels for premium seating. The new seating plan is reported to have brought in an additional $6.5 million.

the year before that, Arky actually generated less then SC in football money........ again, please try and keep up. Just because there are companies in those areas, it dosent mean they are giving to football......

Right after Spurrier came we went from like 84th to 8th or something crazy like that. I believe it was in USA Today or Bloomberg maybe

If this were true, there would at least be some of rumbling of it on twitter by actual journalists.

Have seen nothing.

[seamus]

If he needs to for his resume', Morris could always claim 2 years at clemsux. Somebody needs to coach that bunch for Yabbado.

They are all significant contributors. It's obvious that they started winning and money started funneling in. IF, big if, but if they can replace Petrino adequately then they are one of the richest programs in the country. If their AD doesn't well then they'll probably still be in the top 25. They are a top 25 winning program in the history of college football, Carolina on the other hand just got above .500 for their programs history. It's really not even debatable about who has the better program guys. I do believe and I could be wrong but they just put together a 300 million plus in renovations that are currently taking place.

I saw it too. I was shocked but who am I to doubt t.

He was one of the top 5 or so highest paid coaches in America. He didn't need "boosters money" to pay Jessica anything.

I don't have a ridiculous bias against Carolina. I just know football. You not being able to face facts says that you're the one with the garnet glasses on. I follow several football teams across the country Carolina, Arkansas, Clemson, OU, Oklahoma State, aTm, just to name a few. I like them all and love none of them.
