JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) — A foundation that supports Arkansas State University athletics has received more than $25,000 from alcohol sales on the Jonesboro campus in 2015.
University spokesman Jeff Hankins told the Jonesboro Sun (http://bit.ly/1KGZa69 ) in an email that net revenue from alcohol sales was more than $63,000 after taxes.
Food services company Sodexho retained 60 percent of the net revenue to pay for operations and paid nonprofit NEA Sports Club 40 percent of the net revenue, which was given to the Red Wolves Foundation.
A 10-year lease allowing NEA Sports Club to serve alcohol to its members at certain events and facilities on the Jonesboro campus was approved in April 2015.
Starting in September, beer, wine and mixed drinks were served at six football games at Centennial Bank Stadium, five Convocation Center events and five catering events.
