Arkansas State Athletic Director Tom Bowen resigns after just 13 months

A little more than a year after coming to Jonesboro, Tom Bowen is out as Arkansas State’s athletic director.

Bowen announced his immediate resignation in a press release Thursday morning, citing health reasons. It’s the second major departure in recent weeks at ASU with Chancellor Kelly Damphousse set to take the same position at Texas State this summer.

“This morning I met with our coaches and senior administrators to let them know that due to health issues that require my immediate attention, I needed to step away from my role as [Vice Chancellor] for Intercollegiate Athletics,” Bowen wrote, noting that he intends on remaining in Jonesboro.
