A Texas-based firm has been picked to lead a study on the feasibility of adding football and a marching band at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
UALR said Monday it has picked Plano, Texas-based Convention Sports & Leisure to lead the study.
If the selection is approved by the Arkansas Legislative Council, Convention Sports & Leisure would collaborate with three other firms — CarrSports Consulting, LLC, Heery Sports, and The Grant Group — to determine if a football team and marching band "would be a fiscal and meaningful addition" to the campus and surrounding community, UALR said in a statement.
