Arkansas has some of the top families in the country per the Walton and Tyson families.

If we had an alum willing to donate the money to build this type of facility for SMU I don't think we would turn it down.

Arkansas just redid their facility and say it is as nice as any in the country. But besides that, and this is where marketing comes into play, they opened the new facility during a big time recruiting weekend. They let the current players take the recruits on a tour and timed it so the current players were seeing it for the first time with the recruits. The "wow" factor was noticed on the faces of the current players by the recruits and had a big effect on the impression of the direction of the program. Arkansas got 6 new commits in 20 minutes that day.

Good example.
