All things Spartans

[SportsingHard]

MSU definitely has some major potential in the NIL space IMO. Major alums like Gilbert, Gores, Magic Johnson, just to name a few. They seem like a sleeping giant to me once they get the right guy in there and get this thing going again. But it all starts with the HC.

Yeah, half the NBA is owned by MSU alums, with Mat Ishbia being the most relevant. Problem is, the NBA seems to think owners supporting university athletics, even in a different sport, is some kind of conflict of interest.

Only God knows why.

The issue with NIL and football is that the alumni will also be basketball first. They need to hire someone that can win and inspire alumni again. Basically they need to find their Freeman. I dont think Smith loses his job after this year but 2-3 Bullough will be a name shouted around. That name carries weight in East Lansing.

Michigan directly cheats to win games, slap on the wrist.
Michigan State gives some extra off the field benefits to a few players, forfeit all their games.

Maybe they just didn't volunteer to pay the "financial equivalent" of their penalty like Michigan.

NCAA, in a weird mix of Italian and midwestern accents: "Those are some nice wins you've got there, it would be a shame if something happened to them..."

its fucking unbelievable...

So, Michigan State ended up with a forfeit and CMU got sanctioned in the Connor Stallions on the sideline game. Can't make it up

 

[texbender]

Will this affect them being televised next year vs ND?

they failed the "dont cooperate with the NCAA" test which SCUM passed

I’m pretty sure the old coach was suing MSU since they fired him for cause. This penalty helps them against his lawsuit. So, in the end, I’d guess that MSU is pretty happy with this outcome.

 

[Irish Norseman]

Fuck Michigan! Sad to see MSU as the fall guy.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Scum passed the test despite Moore deleting all the text messages w Stallions? Must’ve been a pretty easy test. Fuck Meatchicken, Ann Arbor is a whore and FUSC just because.

 

[Irish#1]

Anyone else think scUM made a sizable under the table donation to lessen the penalty?

 

[irish4ever]

I don't like Sparty, but compared with what scUM got by with and VERY little penalty ... they got fucked! How many meatchicken alums are on the NCAA committee anyway? Fuck meatchicken (2nd grade level dumb fucks)!

It’s the only way. This is one of the more asymmetrical things I’ve seen in a while.

Sparty fans hoping this is the Smith buyout funds

Fitzgerald is a terrible hire

 

[IrishSpartan]

I hate this hire!

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Made for each other.

What are they doing here? They should have gone hard for Franklin.

they are broke AF and can't afford to even sit at a negotiation table with Jimmy Sexton

 

[ulukinatme]

I don't think he's gonna turn them around. Looks like MSU is gonna be a B1G doormat for awhile longer.

The Ishbias doing their best Reinsdorf impression now that Justin is legally contracted to own the White Sox in a few years?

 

[dublinirish]

401 mil and then you go and hire Fitzgerald that makes zero sense

 

[ulukinatme]

Oh to be so filthy rich that you can throw away $401 million over sports with zero guarantee you get get a dime back or even a successful season...

Didn’t realize Michigan State had so many billionaire alums.
