The Arkansas Legislative Council sought clarity Wednesday afternoon as it reviewed the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's proposed contract to study the potential for a college football program.

The agreement is with the same Texas-based company that is studying the future of the stadium such a program would occupy.

In May, the council approved the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism's $160,000 contract with Conventions, Sports & Leisure of Plano, Texas, for a feasibility study on the uses of War Memorial Stadium, which Parks and Tourism manages.

When UALR's proposed $125,000 contract with Convention, Sports & Leisure indicated the study would be in coordination with the War Memorial Stadium feasibility study, questions arose.
