It’s been nearly two months since the day Arkansas athletics director Hunter Yurachek described as one of the toughest in his career.
In late June, Yurachek announced the UA would be cutting about 10% of the department’s staffing expenditures to free up more money for revenue sharing after the House settlement. The directory was trimmed down through a combination of layoffs and early retirements.
Public relations chief Kevin Trainor, a decades-long servant of the university, was the most notable name on the chopping block. Affected employees were informed of these layoffs in late June, but some continued to work their positions for a few weeks afterward.
