Michigan State Spartans (official thread)

Valenti and Rico on Sparty having to vacate 14 wins.

Rico - “It’s like taking away the shopping cart from a homeless man.”

He also speculates that accepting the punishment may allow Sparty to not pay Mel Tucker tens of millions left on his contract.

They're both channeling @Jaxbuck when they talk about Corum and Woodson's eligibility. This episode is on point.

Full blown corruption in the NCAA. Has to be.

If there ever is another NCAA investigation of Ohio State, the University needs to lawyer up and refuse to participate. Point to the TCUN scandal as a precedent and stonewall.

Fantastic hire!

IDK

He seemed like a guy who peaked and then crashed hard at NW. 3 of his last 4 years there were total disasters and the year in there that wasn't was the COVID year

Yeah, but it's Sparty. Also he's a good coach, but no clue about MSU NIL.

 

[SEREbuckeye]

Wow. They’re aggressively building up MSU to stay competitive in the NIL era.

With the expansion and level-up of the Big Ten, it’s quickly becoming the haves and have-nots. This is great for the conference all-around. Levels up the competition and brings in bigger names.

It’s no $402 million.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Nice.

It's not an interim coach with a 409 button and a two man recruiting class, but it's nice.

What's the ceiling long-term for Sparty with Fitzgerald? We've all heard the expression doing more with less and that was the case with him at Northwestern, but he's got a deep hole to climb out of in East Lansing.

Don’t know and don’t care. I just want them good enough to beat tsun every now and again.

Once a year they are my second favorite program.

What is the ceiling and floor for Michigan State football?

 

[Mike80]

Depends on how much of a leash he's on.

If they want a win-now thing or to be anything more than .500 in year 3, they're incredibly unrealistic.

If they are willing to give him enough time to build from within and give it 5 or 6 seasons, I think he could get it to the same plateau as Dantonio did.
