Really? Never heard of Bud WALTON Arena?

His heirs don't give a shit about UA lol. Mizzou maybe. I'm sure Kroenke is gonna start pushing money to NIL!

The younger ones are too busy pushing paternal leave and trying to annex the Buffalo.

Bud was the exception. He also gave Mizzou $15 million for their arena.

The handling of all of this has been superb.

I have no doubt Yurachek was aware of his willingness to come months ago and it entered into the calculus with Muss (and thankfully didn't backfire).

Cal handled the UK fanbase, etc very well.  There's a lot of gratitude and very little ill will. Class.

Lots of huge money at Wal-Mart other than Walton money.

The email I just got from Razorback MBB also said Cal Those Hogs.

I don't want that to be a thing.

Looks like it already is. Cheesy...

Not the exception.  Sam was also a huge fan and supporter of the Hogs.

I don't know about that, although the divorce has been building for years, the real tipping point was the first round NCAA loss to Oakland.

Jim's kids are the only ones even around Arkansas anymore and they dgaf.

It really is a strange position for Arkansas fans to find ourselves in.  A coaching search was handled professionally from all sides, no one involved got fired, AND we upgraded?

All because SMU wanted a new coach.

And remember, that was 30 years ago.  Know of anything since then?

Someone else made the point that there is a lot of money that comes from Walmart that is not directly with the Waltons, and that is a good point.  The Walker indoor practice facility is an example I believe.  I always heard the original Mr. Walker was an employee of Sam's and had some stock from the beginning that turned in to many millions.

Not sure how much Mrs hunt is/will get involved, she's a billionaire.

Her son is very involved but not worth near as much until she dies. He still has fuck you money.

Bob and Marilyn Bogle gave millions over their lifetime. He was the original stores manager.

I always wondered where the Bogle name came from.
