I got an email the Sun Devil Club guy. That was quick. I had a feeling there was some deep pockets that were annoyed that shouldn't have been annoyed.

Makes the college and the AD look like fools, also it sets up a precendent for fund raising.

Great news! Though I've got to say I'm EXTREMELY excited to watch ASU's women's water polo...

So *who* is it that save them? We need to find out, and everybody has to send that person a thank you.

Art Matori and Jerry Colangelo were the deep pocket players. The firestorm this caused also had an effect. The powers that be had no clue that this would be so controversial and were overwhelmed with the calls, e-mails, etc..

If it was Colangello bankrolling the return, he just picked up a Phoenix Suns fan. And I hate to watch BBall.

And how can we send a thank you to Art and Jerry?

Matori can be e-mailed through his club.

His daughter does a lot of the work for the club. She is a VERY nice person.

I don't know about Jerry. I suspect he gets a lot of e-mails so it's hard to say whether he'd ever see such a thing.
