When the Tigers were 2-10, Fred Smith was willing to dish out $10M per yr to any BCS (now called “power”) conference who would invite Memphis — this was a decade and a half ago
He again pledged more millions to the Big 12 in 2016 lobbying for an invite
Fuente, in his first season as HC, named Cannon Smith (grandson) to the team Leadership Council — Fuente would go on to rebuild & put Memphis on the football map
These don’t even scratch the surface of the long history & relationship between FedEx/Memphis athletics
I would love to see Arkansas football become what everyone in the state knows it can become & I’d love to see Silverfield be that guy…RS did a great job fundraising in his role as Memphis HC, but let’s not act like he was some sort of catalyst for getting FedEx “involved”
The commitment/investment was already in place & RS was a good steward of that foundation

Most of you know @SainAsylum for his Grizzlies takes.
But he’s something else-a volleyball dad.
When he and his wife noticed a problem with accessibility to the sport for so many in Memphis, they took action.
And made a little magic along the way.
