American Sports University is a private sports business university in San Bernardino, California. It has remained unaccredited since its inception in 2006; it is still currently seeking accreditation. It has been granted approval to operate from the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education.

History
ASU opened in the fall of 2006. Dr. Donald Singer is the President of the university and Dr. Harry Hwang is the Founder and Chairman of the Board. The Board of Directors are five members that include Hwang's wife and daughter.
Several buildings that comprise the current ASU campus were formerly owned by the San Bernardino Sun. The campus spans two blocks and includes instructional classrooms, a dormitory, the ASU gym (formerly the San Bernardino Sun printer press), and the future nursing school building (formerly the San Bernardino Public Defender's Office).
The historic Fox Theatre of San Bernardino is also a part of ASU's campus. All original seating that was once part of this building have been removed to accommodate weekly raves the school typically hosts.
The university has filed applications to turn part of downtown Fourth St. into a campus walkway and start up a sports-oriented charter high school in the city

This is obviously a reeeeally old post. ASU was shut down by Kamala Harris in 2016 for fraud and misuse of funds, among other egregious problems. Harry Hwang (already convicted of bribery in 2002) was running the school as a front for Korean immigration. ASU is dead and gone, thankfully.
