Right, like I said, we’d still need a competent head coach.

Losing fricking sucks. Imagine going into most seasons as either a top contender or dark horse contender for a conference championship? That would be fun.

Even when we upgrade our HC, a 9 win season is the reasonable expected ceiling for Arkansas, and maybe once every 20 years we get to 10 wins. That’s depressing.

I lived through the swc days, no thanks.

Win the conference and get skull drug by any decent OOC team in a bowl. The 1960s wouldn’t come back.

Arkansas would still finish at the bottom of the Big 12.

They'd have a much better chance of winning the new Big 12 than the new SEC but the money difference probably wouldn't be worth it.

Arkansas can't even beat Liberty.

Going by that Arkansas wouldn't win the CUSA each year if they joined.

No. It would be incredibly stupid. We are the raiders under Al Davis, we suck but make money.

They wouldn't come close to winning the Big 12.

Keep in mind Arkansas lost to Big 12 member 5-7 BYU at home.

They need to join the SWAC.

Not trying to be an a hole. My perspective as a transplant to ark. A lot of older folks have memories of SWC days. Those who don’t, a lot of old media types continue to reference those days. Nothing wrong with that if given the context. Using NEB as an example, they are a top 10 program throughout history. That’s who they were not who they are. Will they ever return to that level of dominance, probably not. The league and advantages they had to get to that ranking are gone. Can they become competitive, sure. But fan expectations need to be realistic and not hamper the program. Changing coaches every 3 years is not a strategy. Get a coach you can get behind and give him time.

I don't see anyone on that list that Arkansas could beat now or in the future.

We will suck in football no matter where we are. May as well stay and get a share of the TV money. We can play a little basketball and baseball and be competitive.
