Arizona State finally returned a message left Tuesday in the human resources office and it turns out Larry Aschebrook is employed as a Major Gift Officer for the ASU Foundation. Aschebrook was the director of the WVU Foundation before resigning earlier this month amid other news.

All I’m saying is he was a director for the WVU Foundation and is now a Major Gift Officer at the ASU Foundation. The ASUF is, like the WVUF, an independent 501(c)3 and its books cannot be opened. Aschebrook’s salary and perks are not available for our curious minds, which once wondered if he was encouraged out the door or left for a more lucrative offer. We must take his word, which seems fair enough for a guy who perhaps needs fair treatment.

In other matters of clarity, it turns out the story about the crowd at Saturday’s Gold-Blue Game being the second-largest in school history was a lie.
