Hogs AD searching for fund-raiser first

FAYETTEVILLE -- It would be a plus if the next executive director of the Razorback Foundation had Arkansas ties, Athletic Director Jeff Long said, but it's not a requirement.

"From my perspective, I'm looking for someone who will continue to make the Razorback Foundation and Razorback athletics a partnership," Long said Tuesday when he met with the media and spoke on a variety of topics. "We're going to raise more money together. We're going to do things better when we're together, and we've never been closer in history. That's the biggest thing.

"Now, being an Arkansan would certainly be a big bonus and something we're looking for, but I think we can't ignore fund-raising experience.
