Arizona State University (ASU) has officially announced Graham Rossini as its new Athletic Director, replacing Ray Anderson. Rossini, an ASU alumnus, previously served as the chief business officer for Sun Devil Athletics, where he was instrumental in securing naming rights deals for the university's football stadium and basketball arena. The announcement leaves five FBS schools with athletic director openings: Coastal Carolina, Memphis, Tulsa, Colorado State, and Washington State. Rossini emphasized the importance of enhancing the fan experience from 'driveway to driveway' and addressing immediate priorities for the athletic department. The appointment was made official on Thursday, with Rossini being quietly introduced to the public. ASU President Michael Crow commented on the lengthy hiring process and the university's alignment with the Big12Conference.
