Lisa Love was replaced as Arizona State’s athletic
director Wednesday, with former Chief Operating Officer
Steve Patterson taking over.

The move has been happily received by many Sun Devil

Burns and Gambo. “He’s the university president, he’s the
one who stepped in and basically took away her authority
away throughout [the coaching search].
