Love The Hot
Seat
In the throes of a heated football season, ASU
athletic
director Lisa Love invited The Times into her stadium
office. First things first, Love will have you know there’s a lot more to
running an athletics department than playing Monday morning quarterback.
For starters, she’d like to raise ASU’s athletic annual
revenue from $38 million to $45 million. As director for the entire athletics
staff at the nation’s largest university, Love manages 180 employees as
well as ASU’s 500 student athletes.
Once a college volleyball
all-star herself, Love quickly rose from a high school volleyball coach to NCAA
Coach of the Year. She’s now one of only six female athletic directors at
the 119 Division I NCAA football schools. |
