Hogs to seek marketing, licensing director

Looks like another link to the Frank Broyles era is about to be broken.

Matt Shanklin, associate athletic director for marketing and licensing, is on his way out of the University of Arkansas athletic department. We know because his job is posted on the school’s Web site.

Shanklin, who has been at the UA for 20 years, is one of the few top-level employees remaining from the staff athletic director Jeff Long inherited in 2008. The only person to complete a more thorough overhaul than Long, in fact, might be Michael Corleone wiping out the heads of the five families of New York at the end of “The Godfather.”
