Four FedEx boxes were opened Thursday afternoon in a conference room, revealing the firms that submitted bids to conduct a feasibility study to help the University of Arkansas at Little Rock decide whether it will pursue restarting a football program.
UALR announced July 12 that it would conduct such a study, which could result in the rebirth of a football program that played its final season in 1955.
Desiree Taggard, UALR's interim director of procurement services, pulled out the spiral-bound packets and read the four firm's names: Collegiate Consulting, College Sports Solutions, Brailsford & Dunlavey and Conventions, Sports & Leisure International.
