With John Calipari’s surprise move from Kentucky to Arkansas this offseason, the legendary men’s basketball coach brought with him tons of attention to the Razorbacks program.
That attention zeroed in on a particular detail regarding the school’s content network on Tuesday.
“A new opportunity. A new era,” read a post on X from the official account of the Arkansas Razorbacks men’s basketball team. The post included a promo video for The Follow, a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming season with Calipari at the helm. The show would be premiering Tuesday evening on Arkansas’s content network, dubbed Hogs Plus.
If you find yourself snickering or chortling upon hearing that the name of the network is Hogs Plus, you are not alone, as college basketball fans on X had a field day with the discovery.
Absolutely stunning that OnlyFans is a porn site and HogsPlus is a a college sports video site https://t.co/xokOB2Lo5M

Man you just know the media team at Arkansas Athletics was praying that the name “Hogs Plus” wasn’t already being used for something very different https://t.co/n2MQWMuS28

Hogs Plus has actually been around since 2021. It just goes to show how inconsequential Arkansas’s major athletics programs have been to the national discussion that we’re all just getting around to making fun of the name. John Calipari is paying dividends already.
