It’s a new era for Arizona State athletics with Graham Rossini taking over as athletic director.
He’s no stranger to the Sun Devils: He has two degrees from the university, he helped oversee the baseball program in the Pat Murphy era and has been back with the university for multiple years overseeing aspects of fundraising and stadium upgrades among other duties.
Now, he is taking over an athletic department that is transitioning to the Big 12 and continues to want to make up ground in the NIL arena.
Sports360AZ met with him after his introduction to discuss his new role, potential stadium upgrades to Desert Financial Arena, how an upcoming class action lawsuit against the NCAA will affect the Sun Devils and what ASU fans can expect from him.
