REPORT: Kenny Dillingham Would Rather Be Booed Than Lose After $20M Ask
About this episode
The episode discusses Kenny Dillingham's fundraising efforts and their impact on Arizona State's football and basketball programs.
Arizona State Sun Devils shake up the Big 12 landscape as Kenny Dillingham’s bold $20 million request pays off and sparks a surge in program momentum. How will his fearless fundraising and willingness to “say the quiet part out loud” reshape ASU’s future—and can the Sun Devils challenge conference powerhouses like Texas Tech and BYU this season? The conversation focused on Arizona State’s evolving football expectations, the complexities of NIL spending, key injuries from last year, and quarterback depth battles. The discussion explored an unofficial Big 12 media poll placing ASU seventh, with optimism about the team’s upside behind transfer QB Cutter Boley and the potential for a breakout season. Shifting to hoops, the Sun Devils’ basketball program earned the Big 12’s top transfer portal class—ninth nationally—led by Paulias Murauskas and guided by new head coach Randy Bennett, fueling hopes for a rapid turnaround and deeper tournament runs. Will both Sun Devils programs seize this new era of opportunity?
