A Tradition of Excellence

In the early 1970s, the now legendary football coach Frank Broyles, coach Wilson Matthews, athletic director George Cole and a small group of business leaders formed the Razorback Scholarship Fund in an effort to create an innovative way for fans to support the athletic program while receiving benefits and recognition. Financial support in the early years was essential in providing scholarships, facilities and programs to advance Razorback Athletics within the then prominent Southwest Conference.

Following a name change in 1988 and a move to the Southeastern Conference, the Razorback Foundation has played an instrumental role in providing support to Razorback student athletes through scholarship support, student-athlete development opportunities and construction of some of the finest facilities in the conference and the nation.
