FAYETTEVILLE -- As a U.S. senator, Arkansas' David Pryor asked questions on behalf of the aging that others didn't.
Now as a member of the University of Arkansas board of trustees, Pryor asks questions on behalf of UA students and Razorbacks fans that his fellow trustees don't.
He questioned Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long on the whys, hows and costs of Long's proposed north end zone expansion of Reynolds Razorback Stadium rather than approve it in unison.
It's a fine line between a chancellor and board of trustees micromanaging athletics vs. always obediently acquiescing to athletics.
