That means higher ticket prices.

Most of these SEC schools seem to be breaking even.  Auburn, Georgia, and Florida has good profit margins, though.

For all you Notre Dame haters, they have expenses of $60 million and revenue of $83 million and most of both figures is probably football heavy.  That's a nice 38% margin.  They'll never join a conference.  Why should they?

integrity ?

A car plant is considered a "super project" and with such when one is planned the businesses seek the best deal. This puts states at competition with each other and they in turn offer incentive packages. Arkansas is late to this ballgame but is now trying but without going overboard. Arkansas is suffering right now, no doubt but we are not running deficits and bleeding red ink like a good many of other states are.

QuoteRemember that private industry, not governmetn, determines the wealth of the people.  If the government gets in the way of personal property and private industry, the wealth of the people necessarily suffers.

It's easy to quote the party line but then how to you explain California, which has one of the highest tax rates in the country yet has the 8th largest economy in the world?  It's because they have top level K-12 education and a public university system second to none.  That's why the talent is in California and that's why companies start and/or relocate there.

The answer is more complicated than cutting taxes and letting business magically flourish.  It takes human capital for those businesses to flourish.

 I'm going to get this thread back on track since we  have started going off on a tangent and derailed what it is about. Some on here was saying Ark needed to get it's revenues up and yeah revenue is important and we could always use more but remember this you can always put these revenue streams up to view and make a argument either way but the bottom line is this, Ark is one of only a handful of teams that operates in the black without support of student or state funds to do so. This takes in all of college football as well as the SEC. The reason some of the other programs have such high expenses is because they fund a lot of non revenue producing sports including title 9 women sports to even out the scholies. Ark in truth is doing quite well and Jeff Long is going to make sure they do better in the future.

If those plants close, what does Fort Smith have left as far as large employers?

Doesn't sound very good....but Texas has been to how many BCS games in the past 10 years?

Use your head. The reason The University of Texas can afford to charge those
astronomical prices is because they are backed by the Multi-Millionaires of big
Oil. They can pay the price no matter how high it is. The University of Arkansas
doesn't have big oil in the state backing them.

Good post! As far as the derailing goes, it will be a lot more frequent now since there is no
longer a Political Forum. Now the Political posters are all over hogville.

Please! There's far more Big oil money backing The University of Texas than
there is Wal-Mart and Tyson money backing the U of A.

Consider the University endowments;  Texas has the second largest endowment of any American university-- trailing only Harvard.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."
