“The dynamics of athletics has changed with NIL and the (transfer) portal,” Swette said. “It requires a new type of leadership. Kenny is uniquely suited to success. We are proud to support him.”

Dillingham, who has previously called for a big-spending booster in support of ASU football, posted on X to thank the Swettes for the donation.
Thank you to Brian and Kelly Swette for believing in the vision of the program! Happy to have the Head Coaching Position endowed by great people and great supporters of not just ASU football but the Valley as a whole! This is the largest endowed position at ASU thanks to them,… t.co/g0xAsVDq0j
