TEMPE, Ariz. -- Ray Anderson welcomed Phoenix-area media to his latest media luncheon with a message of openness and respect that has become one of the hallmarks of his administration.
"Your coverage is really important to us," ASU's Vice President for University Athletics said on Monday at Karsten Golf Course. "We know the world isn't always rosy; we know that it's not a perfect world. You've got a job to do. Do it.
"When you have to be critical of us, do so with complete freedom, but when you have a chance to support and acknowledge and promote what we're trying to do here at Sun Devil Athletics, at this institution, with our culture of supporting and really advancing the experiences of our student-athletes, we hope you will also highlight those things beyond the wins and losses.
