Michigan State needs to make this hire for its next athletic director.
Michigan State president Guskiewicz exits to Clemson; AD Batt departs for Kentucky within weeks, citing Board dysfunction despite Guskiewicz's $2M raise. Batt's buyout clause ($5M→$2.5M if president leaves) triggered exit; dual vacancies threaten institutional alignment and recruiting.
With the recent departures, MSU is now searching for its fourth athletic director since 2021 and its fourth president since 2022.
Michigan State has now lost both its AD and school president.
These names might make some sense to take over the Spartans.
The Spartans' athletic director and president are both planning departures from the school.
The Spartans' head coach is "sick of it" after Michigan State let its president and AD go within weeks of each other.
There's only one man who can save Michigan State's detrimental administration.
