Stanford once had the original SID, Don Liebendorfer. A crusty, cranky Emperor of Athletics at Stanford. Effective if you could caught him on a good day. Murph learned in his shadow and was exceptional. Ditto Cavalli and Rose. Racsynski and Vasquez were princes and helped the working press greatly. Migdol knew his s*** and then the AD's made some hiring mistakes. At the end of my career I had trouble getting pretty much anything out of the university press office even though I was shooting for the most successful television show in history. Bob Byers Jack H and Mr. Lamar at the press office and Spiros and Molly at the med center were all stars and it was sad to see the replacements wither on the vine.
The literature of the U's site and its releases to season tix holders was pretty vanilla when I had the seats. All attempts to publicise the team after 1982 have been amateur IMO.
Overall the cooperation was great until the 2010's but the best university press department down through the ages has been in Berkeley. They found great stories that were easy to pitch to the network.
