FAYETTEVILLE -- Julie Cromer Peoples said her charge as interim athletic director for the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville is to keep the positive momentum of the department moving forward.
How that relates to the state of the football program, which is 4-6 entering today's 11 a.m. game against Mississippi State at Reynolds Razorback Stadium, or a decision about the future of football games in Little Rock is up in the air.
Peoples, who has served as the sports administrator in football the past two seasons, said she's received support from Coach Bret Bielema since her appointment by Chancellor Joe Steinmetz on Wednesday after the dismissal of Jeff Long.
