One month to the day after Terry Mohajir left for the University of Central Florida, Arkansas State University announced the hiring of former Memphis athletic director Tom Bowen as the school's next athletic director Wednesday.
He will be introduced this morning in an 11 a.m. news conference inside the Centennial Bank Athletics Operations Center.
Bowen, 59, comes to Jonesboro with nearly 16 years of experience as an athletic director, most recently at Memphis from 2012-19 where the Tigers' football program reached five consecutive bowl games for the first time in program history under his watch. He served in the same role at San Jose State from 2004-12, where he shepherded the school through its 2013 move into the Mountain West Conference before his departure.
