## Resource

LSU, Arkansas and Ole Miss wrap up football spring ball with rising stars and roster shakeups, but Arkansas grabs headlines by cutting men’s and women’s tennis. Are non-revenue sports becoming endangered across the SEC landscape because of the revenue going to football? Chris Gordy spotlights Ty Benefield & Dilin Jones as LSU’s key standouts, plus the emerging chemistry between Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambless and receiver Johntay Cook. Arkansas gears up for its Red-White Game amid a quarterback battle between KJ Jackson and AJ Hill, while Ja'Quavion Smith and Tay Lockett flash defensive upside. The episode also tackles the financial pressures forcing Arkansas to eliminate sports, and questions whether this signals a new era for college athletics budgets. NFL Draft takeaways see Ty Simpson’s surprising selection by the Rams and the SEC trailing the Big Ten in first-round picks. Will these shifts reshape the future of SEC sports?
