The University of Arkansas at Little Rock has named current senior associate athletic director and CFO George Lee as the new athletic director according to a release today.
Lee replaces Chasse Conque who recently left to take over as the Athletic Director at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. Under Conque the Trojans saw their most successful season in program history in 2015.
Lee joined the Trojans’ Athletics Department 23 years ago as a business manager.
