Release of film great way to honor Broyles

It will be an iconic Tuesday. It is Frank Broyles Day in the state of Arkansas.

One year ago this Tuesday, the man who spent more than half a century at the University of Arkansas as head football coach and athletic director passed away. He was 92.

Even though UA Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek had never been to Arkansas before his hiring in December, he has nothing but respect and admiration for the man he has heard so much about.

"Frank Broyles is one of the true iconic figures in the history of Arkansas and intercollegiate athletics," Yurachek said in a statement.
