LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas State will name its new athletic director today, replacing Dean Lee roughly a month after he was reassigned to a fundraising role at the Jonesboro campus.
The announcement will be made at a 10:30 a.m. news conference at the Convocation Center. Doug Abel has been serving as interim athletic director.
The new athletic director inherits a department with 14 varsity sports and a projected $13.4 million budget for the fiscal year 2013.
ASU also has announced plans for a $22 million indoor practice facility and operations center located at the north end zone of the recently renamed Liberty Bank Stadium.
