Program Profiles: Arizona State


Arizona State University
Division IA since 1956 (PAC 10)
Mascot: Sun Devil
Colors: Maroon and Gold

ASU was pretty good back in the day, but has a tendency to come up just short of the real goal. Sure they’ve gone bowling all century, but not to any good ones. Still, with the complete upheaval of the scene, their reemergence as a preeminent team is probable, right? No. Much like Miami, they don’t have anything besides victories to put on display. No pageantry, no ongoing drama. The best they can manage is the “Duel in the Desert” versus Arizona.

Sparky represents the Sun Devils, a name chosen by a newspaperman in 1946 since the school itself was continually changing its mascot.
