LITTLE ROCK — Critiquing a statement from the Arkansas athletics director, a cynic might say Hunter Yurachek performed a public service for the University of Arkansas system.
Specifically, educating the public, if you will, about which Division I schools are in the UA system. Other than the UA-Fayetteville, there are two — Arkansas-Little Rock and Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Arkansas-Fort Smith and Arkansas-Monticello compete as Division II programs.
Neither Arkansas State University nor the University of Central Arkansas is part of the system. Therefore, they are not included in the plans for the Razorbacks to compete against in-state schools in various sports.
