Steve Robertello has been a college athletics administrator for more than 25 years. Currently the Associate Commissioner of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF), he's served in positions at Washington State, Arizona State, West Virginia, Villanova and was the Deputy and Interim AD at Fresno State.
