The Arkansas Razorbacks have no shortage of funds to lure some of the nation’s top basketball talent to Fayetteville. And a big part of that is John Tyson, the chairman of Tyson Foods, who boasts a net worth of $2.75 billion. And Tyson utilized his deep pockets and his relationship with former Kentucky head coach John Calipari, to lure him to be the head man of the Razorbacks basketball program.
Ahead of his press conference on the SEC Network on Wednesday evening, Hog fans gave Tyson a standing ovation for helping lure Calipari to Arkansas.
They also played the song “Chicken Fried” by Zach Brown Band in the background when Hog fans showed their appreciation.
