Arkansas Trustees Order a Sweeping Review to Revive Razorbacks Football
The board said the review will examine competitiveness across Razorback sports and could shape future investment in football resources.
- On Friday, the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees unanimously directed System President Jay B. Silveria to lead a comprehensive review of the state of competitiveness of Razorback athletics, with emphasis on improving football resources.
- The Razorbacks are currently 1-1 after a 43-10 loss to Utah, following a 2-10 finish last year. Trustees have spent the past year focusing on athletics spending to help make football more competitive.
- Football typically serves as a "major revenue generator," Trustee Ed Fryar said. The board previously authorized $5 million annually for a football-specific fund and $3.4 million through offsets and forbearance.
- Trustee Kevin Crass said, "It's going to take a collective effort" to achieve the level of success fans desperately want. The resolution aims to identify necessary resources and empower key personnel.
- The review will examine factors affecting college football programs nationwide, including revenue sharing, name-image-and-likeness opportunities, staffing, and facilities. The board did not announce a specific timeline for findings.
