Less than five years into his tenure, University of Arkansas at Little Rock Athletic Director Chasse Conque has decided to move on.
In a news conference inside the Jack Stephens Center in Little Rock on Friday afternoon, Conque formally announced his departure, which will happen later this month. He is headed to Edinburg, Texas, where he'll take over the same position at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, a non-football playing member of the Western Athletic Conference with a student enrollment of roughly 30,000, nearly 20,000 more than UALR's.
Conque spent time Friday reflecting on UALR athletics' accomplishments since he took the job in January 2015, while also looking toward his future.
