ATHLETICS
Bumpas going into SWC Hall of Fame
Former Arkansas Razorbacks defensive lineman and assistant coach Dick Bumpas has been elected to the Southwest Conference Hall of Fame.
Bumpas is the 36th former Razorbacks player or coach to be inducted into the SWC Hall of Fame. Each year a committee selects nine new members — one each from the nine schools that comprised the conference.
This year’s induction ceremony will be Oct. 2 on the Texas Christian University campus in Fort Worth. Nine more athletes or coaches with Arkansas ties will be inducted during a November luncheon at the Little Rock Touchdown Club, but they have not been announced.
Bumpas, a Fort Smith native who played for the Razorbacks from 1968-1970, was the SWC defensive player of the year and a consensus All-American defensive tackle as a senior. He was the defensive line coach for the Razorbacks’ 1989 SWC championship team.
In 2011, Bumpas was inducted in the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame and was a 2006 inductee to the UA Sports Hall of Honor.
