The SEC is an old line GLO conference and is very close on who they recruit from.
Cities, that is a new one on me as GLOs like to try and recruit from Areas and members they know. But at smaller State Universitys it is important because of the size of the H S and where the students or going to atten.
Arkansas if they were smart would have joined the Big 8 as it would have been a perfect fit.

Excellent school though for sure!
