Hunter Yurachek announces quid pro quo for Arkansas Razorbacks logo

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas is finally finding unique ways to raise zero funds. Athletic director Hunter Yurachek is seeking a $500,000 infusion by Monday. If fans can achieve this goal, the court with the “Slobberin Hog” logo will return to center court at Bud Walton Arena.

Yurachek also announced that he had received a matching gift of $500,000. Fans have until 5 p.m. Monday to reach the goal. The contribution link can be found here.

This marks the latest stage of change at Arkansas Edge, the official NIL collective of the Razorbacks. Under new director Kyle May, the collective recently announced a $10 per month tier for fan subscriptions, making the base tier more affordable compared to the previous $25.

The Walmart AMP, where May previously worked, is also hosting a concert by Justin Moore and Randy Houser to benefit the collective.

Arkansas also announced a VIP experience for the upcoming fall baseball scrimmage series against Oklahoma State on Oct. 11-12. For $250, fans can watch the team take batting practice, a tour of the Hunt Center by former coach Norm DeBriyn and a baseball signed by current coach Dave Van Horn. The registration link for this event can be found here.

All of this is the Arkansas Edge’s latest attempt to secure more NIL money after Yurachek openly admitted that the Razorbacks were well behind their SEC counterparts in the new world of college athletics.
