There was some surprise when it was announced by the University of Arkansas that it would play baseball games against the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
The UA has always had a rule that it would not play in-state teams.
For the first 75 years that made sense, but in today's economic world of perspiring arts where budgets of Power 5 athletic programs have soared past the $100 million mark, maybe it is time to reconsider.
And maybe scheduling the Razorbacks against the Trojans and Golden Lions in a 3-1 (three games in Baum, one each at the other schools) was a great start.
