University of Arkansas budget hit with Little Rock football - The Associated Press

A report says starting a football program at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock would require a significant financial investment beyond a budget increase for athletics. Conventions, Sports and Leisure International released its consulting study Tuesday. The report gave projections for a UALR football program for the next decade, basing scenarios on "potential revenue, potential enrollment impact, economic impact on Little Rock and alumni involvement," the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported. The university's athletic budget would need to grow from the current $11 million a year to as much as $23.4 million, depending on which NCAA participation level the university chooses, the report said. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/business/article215493980.html
