Arkansas has three main systems if you count UA, ASU and Arkansas Tech.

Arkansas Tech-Ozark is one of the schools.

But the ASU System is not ASU-Jonesboro. ASU-Jonesboro is co-equal in the system with ASU-Beebe but not co-equal with ASU-Paragould.

Likewise, the UA System is not UAF. UAF is co-equal with UALR. Go to Wikipedia and look at the UA System article. It lists 6 main campuses....not 1 main campus and 5 branches.

Why are the folks on the BoTs at UAF kept blocking UALR from having a football team? It seems that UAF wants to boss the other schools like UALR, UAFS and so forth, and keeping them down as not to become like an education heavy weight like them.

Why is Arkansas Tech's teams called the Wonder Boys?

David are you a Wonder Boy? It sure seems like it from your posts.

Arkansas nickname qas once the "Wonder State".

Each university campus and each two-year college campus has its own chancellor. Aside from sharing the system Board of Trustees and President, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (UofA) does not share a governing body with University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR).

Here's the terminology aspect of things: Yes, UofA is the flagship institution of the University of Arkansas System, but UALR is absolutely NOT a "branch" of UofA because UofA has no governance over UALR; both UofA and UALR answer to the University of Arkansas SYSTEM Board of Trustees and President.

Sidebar - there should be no confusion between UAM (University of Arkansas at Monticello) and UACCM (University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton) because they are very clearly named and abbreviated.

You haven't clarified anything. I've been saying the dame tjongs you just said, the whole time.

Ark and Minn have very similar systems, with main campuses in Fayetteville and Minneapolis and branches in Little Rock and Duluth, respectively. And yes, before you start crying too, they are separate universities. I never said otherwise.

And again UALR is not a branch campus of UAF. You can repeat it as many times as you wish and it will still remain incorrect.

I've never once in this entire thread said that LR is a branch of Fayetteville.

Nice try...no nibble.

It's no try, it's just the truth.

I've maintained during the entire thread that a university is either a main or branch of a system. I've never said once that a university is a branch of another university.

It's not my fault that you and everyone else misinterpreted it that way. It all could've been avoided with a simple clarification request, but none of you thought to do that. Instead, you just went to insults. So, I'm not going to spoon feed you.

If you don't believe me, go back and read it yourself. You won't find a single instance.
