- "It really doesn’t matter what I think of the expectations of the fans. It’s the fact that the fans here at ASU baseball believe that this is an elite baseball program and should always be." [So Ray, what do YOU believe?]

- ". . . it doesn’t matter whether or not I think they’re realistic or not. Our fanbase believes they’re realistic and that’s what we have to work towards." [Work towards? Don't you mean DELIVER?]

- "We have to figure a way to get our program back into the discussion of being a World Series participant . . " [NO! You must commit to getting ASU in the CWS finals - often!]

These are SOFT COMMITTMENTS without defined goals. He has given up on delivering an elite program and is now focusing on managing fan expectation. If you read the entire story, the gist of his comments are that he can't make any money at baseball and "The Fanbase" will have to forget about the good old days.

What happened to Anderson's commitment to elite sports programs? He is starting a negotiation with "The Fanbase" to deliver what he can and then he will declare whatever he achieves as realistic success. The best that can be expected. [Where's my bonus?]
