Arkansas Business released its ‘2011 Power List’ today, featuring 192 “leaders in 20 different industry categories.” It’s meant to highlight those with the most success and influence in business.

Considering college sports has become increasingly business-oriented, ArkansasSports360.com readers might not be surprised to find a few familiar names on the list. Click the links to find out what Arkansas Business has to say about…

UALR women’s basketball coach Joe Foley.

Razorback Foundation Executive Director Harold Horton.

Real estate magnate and former UA player Jim Lindsey.

Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long.

Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino.

UALR men’s basketball coach Steve Shields.

Any of those names surprise you? Anybody missing?

It's worth noting the list was compiled before Arkansas announced Mike Anderson as its newest head basketball coach. Don’t be surprised if Anderson, who will make $2.2 million annually, winds up on the list when Arkansas Business puts its next "Power List" together.

If we put together a “Power List” specifically for sports figures in the state of Arkansas who would need to be on it?
