FAYETTEVILLE -- Now what?
The lines were drawn in the sand among the Power 5 conferences on Tuesday and Wednesday, with plenty of heated rhetoric thrown about by the commentariat, and now comes the short lull.
The University of Arkansas and its 13 fellow members of the Southeastern Conference remain on course to open actual football practices Monday, 40 days out from what would be season-opening games on Sept. 26.
The Atlantic Coast Conference and the Big 12 are also on track to start playing football, possibly as early as Sept. 12, with covid-19 concerns still alive and doing a cracking good job of dividing the nation down all kinds of fault lines.
