Something must have happened Tuesday to make the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville know it needed help.
After Chancellor Joe Steinmetz said he would hire the next athletic director after consulting with his advisory committee, he decided to let the Razorback Foundation pay for the vetting of applicants.
The news release Tuesday gave the impression the university is close to hiring an athletic director and that Korn Ferry, one of the most expensive search firms in the country, would do the due diligence.
Steinmetz also announced that DHR International would assist interim athletic director Julie Cromer Peoples with the search for a new football coach.
