That is somewhat how Arkansas feels at the close of today's business. The athletic director has said repeatedly for weeks, no months, on his on-line video show that the Razorbacks aren't leaving the SEC. Yesterday, he repeated that. And so did the chancellor.

In fact, even I got a call from a media member who shall remain nameless. Come on, can't I have an unnamed questioner if so many get to have unnamed sources?

We. Are. Not. Leaving. Period.

I will not pretend or be hypocritical enough to say that I haven't been reading with considerable interest the real-time reporting of the many digital media types who have done some interesting and admirable work on the past 10 days. This is not to call anyone out, but consider that the sources of a lot of today's stories were not in Fayetteville. They were reported to be "executive" types in either the Big 12 office or institutions.

Again, the executives at Arkansas have been really clear. And ahead of the curve - Long tweeted out a link to his statement on the main website yesterday afternoon.

After today's Texas based new rumors, he retweeted his own message. Not exactly SAYING IN IN ALL CAPS, but if you can't take the hint the first time . . . .
