Did Michael Crow make the right Athletic Director hire with Graham Rossini for Arizona State?

After months of waiting, Arizona State University has finally made the hiring of  Senior  Associate Athletic Director and Chief Business Officer Graham Rossini officially official. It has long been believed that Arizona State University President Michael Crow would be leaning toward an internal hire for the position vacated by Ray Anderson and it finally came to fruition on May 14, 2024. The hire has been met with mixed feelings from fans and others, with most questioning why an internal hire took so long or why no outside candidate was seriously considered. Still, Rossini is an alumnus of Arizona State University and his long business ties may have sealed the deal for his hire. Host Richie Bradshaw breaks down our unfiltered thoughts on the hire as well as the good and bad of the hire then rounds it out with what's next for Rossini, Crow, and Arizona State Sun Devils athletics on this edition of the Locked On Sun Devils podcast.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!LinkedInThese days every new potential hire can feel like a high stakes wager for your small business.
