Program Profiles: Arkansas State

Arkansas State University
since 1992 (Sunbelt)
Mascot: Red Wolves
Colors: Scarlet and Black

Arkansas State has little going for it. You’re hard pressed to find the winning seasons in this program. Their big rival is Memphis. They give in to NCAA pressure and dropped their original (only in the sense of first, definitely not the creative sense) mascot: Indians.

But they just joined the Sun Belt from IAA in 2001, and the school’s publicity department is trying to establish itself as a school that has something going on. Get this- true freshmen take shifts beating a huge war drum for twenty-four hours before the Homecoming game. That’s hard core.
