MSU Football B1G Media Days Recap
Today is the third and final installment of Big Ten football media days in Chicago, IL and Michigan State got their chance to meet the press yesterday. Spartans quarterback Alessio Milivojevic, linebacker Jordan Hall, and safety Nikai Martinez joined head coach Pat Fitzgerald in the Windy City. Perhaps the most important thing about media days […]
Meet The Spartans
MSU football season kickoff is just around the corner. The B1G writers have already predicted MSU to finish 14th out of 16 and with all the turnover of players and coaches, MSU football can really only get better. Right? I mean, it won’t get worse, will it? While nobody outside of East Lansing is expecting […]

Michigan State has shown heavy interest in the backcourt in the 2027 recruiting class. Last week, Tom Izzo and crew went into the frontcourt and made an offer to a four-star power forward who is gaining plenty of attention in recent weeks. The Spartans offered Jayon Connor of the Forsyth Country Day School in Lewisville, […]
Who Is The Best Mascot In College?
This is a question that we Spartans undoubtedly know the answer to. There is but one answer: Sparty. The best mascot in college and sports in general is a question that often pops up on sports talk in the slow dog days of summer. Earlier in June, I found myself calling in to the Morning […]

Tom Izzo Continues To Pursue Son Of Michigan State Legend
Tom Izzo has not been shy about continuing the familiy traditions in East Lansing and bringing in the sons of former Spartan legends. It looks as though the Michigan State head coach has his eye on another. Last week, Izzo was in attendance at the Nike Peach Jam to watch Mateen Cleaves Jr., the son […]
One More Look at MSU Basketball’s Championship Chances
Earlier this month, we compared MSU men’s basketball to the rest of the Big Ten by analyzing each team’s percentage of minutes returning from last season and their average recruiting grade (freshmen and transfers).

Will The 5-In-5 Rule Improve College Athletics?
Certainly by now, you have all heard that the NCAA has revised its eligibility rules to state that college athletes will now have five years of eligibility within a five-year window.

Michigan State To Battle Blue Bloods After Offering 2027 4-Star PG
Tom Izzo has a reputation as one of the best coaches in the nation. That reputation goes a long way in recruiting and the Spartans hope that it works once again for one of the nation’s top point guard — but it will be a battle. Michigan State officially offered four-star point guard Antonio Pemberton […]
Importance of Coach and Executive Tenure in Winning National Championships
As TOC well knows, Michigan State has experienced its fair share of turnover in high-profile executive and coaching level positions recently. Earlier this spring, after just over two years on the job, President Kevin Guskiewicz announced he would depart for the same role at Clemson University. Guskiewicz then reversed course and will now remain in […]
Who is Jon Palumbo?
With the change of heart from Kevin Guskiewicz and terms reached on the official Kentucky buyout of J Batt, MSU moved quickly in naming Jon Palumbo as interim athletic director. The CEO of the newly launched Spartan Ventures will now have double duty as he fills both roles. Palumbo is clearly a man with some […]

What’s Next for MSU Athletics after Guskiewicz Changes Course?
In what must be viewed as a major win for the university amidst a turbulent summer, on Monday Kevin Guskiewicz stated that he would continue to serve as Michigan State’s president. This comes over a month after announcing his planned departure for the same role at Clemson University, citing an unworkable situation with MSU’s Board […]

I have some good news, TOC. Michigan State men’s basketball will win the 2026-2027 regular season Big Ten championship. Well, that’s what some numbers say at least (let’s hope we’re not back here in March watching Michigan hoist another trophy). Let me explain. Earlier this summer, we looked at two charts that analyzed roster turnover […]
Spartan Ventures Launches Today
As of today, a new private organization is officially open for business with the sole function of increasing the financial resources of the Michigan State University Athletic Department.
