FAYETTEVILLE — Speaking at the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees meeting Friday, Razorbacks athletics director Hunter Yurachek was given an opportunity to clarify comments he made last week at the Little Rock Touchdown Club when he said Arkansas’ football program was “not set up to win a national championship” financially.
While introducing Yurachek during a meeting of the Athletics Committee, trustee Ted Dickey of Little Rock said Yurachek’s Sept. 15 comments at the Little Rock Touchdown Club “were misunderstood” and said the 10-member board is “committing to help football, period.”
“I know you share this objective,” Dickey said.
