Going to HS in Hot Springs, though we moved to Florida before I graduated, I was only considering Arkansas and UALR. I'm not real clear what the draw is for Arkansas State or Central Arkansas. It was basically go to the state flagship or go to Little Rock where there will be internship and networking opportunities. With ASU and UCA having larger student populations, it may be something that UALR is looking at to boost the profile to grow enrollment.

Like I told arkst, the argument against UALR being one of the few Ark public universities not having football can be turned around and used as an argument by UALR admin as to why the school needs to get football.

Ark high school graduates probably almost all go through school with football just being part of the culture, and might feel weird going to a four year undergraduate school that can't even offer one game a year of the Razorbacks for football as part of the student experience.
