The $15.5 million, 25,000-square-foot Skandalaris Football Center sounds like it rivals Ohio State's Woody Hayes Athletic Center in opulence. Literally and figuratively, Michigan State has been laying a foundation for a new kind of football program. While the building was already in the works, the program's new attitude began with the hiring of second-year coach Mark Dantonio. Remember, with Dantonio by his side as defensive coordinator, Jim Tressel went 14-0 and won a national title in his second season at Ohio State.
