History

ASU or A-State, as it is called today, was founded in Jonesboro in 1909 by the Arkansas Legislature as a regional agricultural training school. It began offering a two-year college program in 1918, then became First District Agricultural and Mechanical College in 1925. A four-year degree program was begun in 1930, then A & M College became Arkansas State College in 1933. The Arkansas Legislature elevated the college to university status and changed the name to Arkansas State University in 1967.

The ASU system includes campuses in Jonesboro (Craighead County), which offers degree programs through the doctoral level; Beebe (White County), Mountain Home (Baxter County), and Newport (Jackson County), where associate degree programs are offered; and at Heber Springs, Marked Tree, and Searcy. Arkansas State University-Beebe became part of the ASU system in 1955. It associated with White River Vo-Tech at Newport in 1992; that campus has attained stand-alone status and is now Arkansas State University-Newport. The Mountain Home campus officially became ASU-Mountain Home on July 1, 1995. Delta Technical Institute at Marked Tree merged with ASU and became Arkansas State University Technical Center on July 1, 2001. A new campus is being built for ASU-Heber Springs, which operates as a sister campus of ASU-Beebe. Foothills Technical Institute at Searcy was merged with ASU-Beebe on July 1, 2003, and is now ASU-Searcy, a technical institute of ASU-Beebe.

Arkansas State is affiliated with the Sun Belt Conference in sports and maintains NCAA Division I programs in the major sports including football where A-State is a I-A program.

As a member of the Southland Conference in 1970, Arkansas State was the NCAA small college football national champion. The Indians defeated Central Missouri State University in the Pecan Bowl, held in Arlington, Texas to win the national championship and complete an undefeated season, 11-0. During the 1970s ASU competed at the NCAA Division I level and in 1975 finished an undefeated 11-0. ASU was one of only two undefeated Division I football teams that year. They can also lay claim to being one of only four institutions to have gone undefeated and not win a National Championship at the Division I-A level. Since ASU was a member of the Southland Conference, and at that time the Southland did not have a bowl game tie-in, ASU was not selected for a bowl game even though they were ranked in the Associated Press Top 25. As a result of this inequity, the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana was created and is still operating to this day. During the 1980s, ASU was a powerhouse in NCAA Division I-AA, making four appearances in the playoffs, including playing in the national championship game in 1986.

During the 2005 football season, Arkansas State finished the regular season as Sun Belt Conference champions with a record of 6 wins and 5 losses and was extended an invitation to the New Orleans Bowl. This was the school's first bowl game since the trip to the 1970 Pecan Bowl and subsequent national championship. The Indians were defeated by the University of Southern Mississippi in the game, which was played that year in the city of Lafayette, Louisiana due to the lingering effects of Hurricane Katrina.

The Indians have recently rekindled a rivalry with the Memphis Tigers within the last 3 years. Previously members of the Southland Conference, the #25 ranked Memphis Tigers beat the Indians 47-35 in 2004 before the largest crowd to ever watch a game at Indian Stadium, 30,427. And in 2006, Arkansas State beat Memphis at the Liberty Bowl after a last second hail mary touchdown to secure the win, 26-23. Both schools have met 53 times, with the Tigers leading the series 27-21-5.


Although the University of Arkansas doesn't consider Arkansas State a rival, ASU fans consider the Razorbacks as a big rivalry. Since the UA has a majority of fan support throughout the state, and almost a monopoly with the state's media, Arkansas AD Frank Broyles believes there is no advantage in playing the Indians, and the state legislature has agreed, overwhelmingly defeating bills that would force a matchup between the schools. Currently, UA holds a 1-0 series lead in football, beating the Indians 41-0 in Fayetteville in 1944. [3] The Razorbacks also hold a 5-0 series lead in men's basketball, last defeating the Indians 67-64 in a comeback overtime victory. ASU's women's basketball team defeated UA in a women's NIT game. The Arkansas Razorbacks, also known as the Hogs, are the names of college sports teams at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas. ...


Arkansas State also shares an in-state rivalry with the University of Arkansas at Little Rock(UALR). Recently the basketball series has gone in the favor of ASU, having a winning streak against UALR for 5 games (updated 2006-2007 season). In the 2005-2006 season, ASU swept the series with UALR for the first time in six years. Dickinson Hall University of Arkansas at Little Rock is the third largest university, by enrollment, in Arkansas. ...


Although Arkansas State hasn't developed a clear cut rivalry in the Sun Belt, among current Sun Belt members, the University of Louisiana Ragin Cajuns and University of Louisiana Monroe Warhawks were once members of the Southland Conference with ASU and at one time were considered rivals. Judging by the all-time series with Arkansas State and the two Louisiana schools, it seems possible to dub both schools as "rivals" based on close win/loss margins. In football, the Ragin' Cajuns lead the all-time series with Arkansas State, 18-16-1, while Warhawks lead the all-time series against ASU, 15-13. At present, no single institution exists with the specific, official name of the University of Louisiana. ...

Greek Life

Approximately 15% of ASU's students are members of one of the 21 Greek organizations located on the campus. Most other student organizations, including the Student Government Association, the Student Activities Board, and the Student Orientation Staff, are led and comprised mainly of Greek students. Many in these groups are dedicated to academics and community service. Also of interest, the cumulative Greek GPA is consistently higher than the overall average ASU GPA.
