FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) _ The University of Arkansas says a “celebration of
life” will be held in Fayetteville on Saturday for Frank Broyles, who died
Monday at the age of 92.
UA says the celebration will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday at Bud Walton Arena.
Broyles became the school’s athletic director in 1974 while still the football
coach, eventually retiring from the gridiron to focus on administrative duties
following the 1976 season. He retired as athletic director in 2007, moving into
a fundraising role with the school’s Razorback Foundation until his retirement
from that role in 2014.
Remembrances poured in Monday following news of Broyles’ death. Former
President Bill Clinton says Broyles was “a leader of character, intelligence
and determination,” while Gov. Asa Hutchinson called Broyles “an Arkansas
treasure.”
