MSU board gives school president until Tuesday to agree to step down
Didn't see this coming. MSU President Samuel Stanley is being given until Tuesday to resign.
September 11th, 2022 at 2:27 PM ^
I hear Scott Frost is available for the job.
September 11th, 2022 at 2:27 PM ^
Imagine being worse than Engler
September 11th, 2022 at 2:40 PM ^
Governor Fupa
September 11th, 2022 at 2:55 PM ^
My mother had the habit of understating the negative. She would call this photo "unflattering. "
September 11th, 2022 at 3:15 PM ^
Yes the under belt belly is not a good look. I prefer the Dunlop look myself.
September 11th, 2022 at 5:15 PM ^
Probably his prostate…
September 11th, 2022 at 3:13 PM ^
I am fat but I do not look like I just ate Mark Mangino.
September 11th, 2022 at 4:04 PM ^
Holy shit, what a disgusting POS!!!!
Wow, appropriate that he is shoving something into his mouth during the picture 😵.
September 11th, 2022 at 4:22 PM ^
That is…sad. He’s a caricature. I don’t remember him being morbidly obese.
September 11th, 2022 at 6:22 PM ^
I spoke to Engler once. Someone walked by with a strawberry parfait. Engler asked where he got it and scurried off.
September 12th, 2022 at 6:02 AM ^
He's always looked like this. It's just that you don't normally notice him, because your eyes are drawn to Princess Leia in her gold bikini sitting at his feet.
September 11th, 2022 at 6:41 PM ^
OMG that reminds me of The Meaning of Life…. “It’s wafer thin.”
September 11th, 2022 at 6:55 PM ^
Yikes! I thought Jabba was killed by Leia.
September 11th, 2022 at 4:39 PM ^
Thing is, MSU would plausibly get rid of someone for being ethical. So I might need some clarification here.
September 11th, 2022 at 5:42 PM ^
Engler was hired to do a very specific job. He interpreted it somewhat differently.
He succeeded spectacularly...at lining his and his cronies' pockets.
September 11th, 2022 at 2:32 PM ^
How many MSU presidents in just the past 10 years? (a revolving door over there)
September 11th, 2022 at 2:49 PM ^
The Red Cedar Shit Show keeps producing top notch stories for local, state and national headlines.
September 11th, 2022 at 4:09 PM ^
I think they narrowly lead us with one additional presidential transition and one more sex scandal.
September 11th, 2022 at 9:45 PM ^
It's getting to the point where no one credible is going to want the job.
The Board of Trustees up there is the biggest joke in all of academia
September 11th, 2022 at 2:32 PM ^
Kind of jarring because I clicked thinking this was a RCMB thread
September 11th, 2022 at 2:35 PM ^
Their board in a bunch of inbred MSU folks, so who know what the truth is. They have looked the other way when sexual misconduct involves their sports teams. They are out of compliance with Title nine and no one seems to care. Maybe they will hire a true spartan like Dantonio to be President.
September 11th, 2022 at 3:33 PM ^
Cmon now, insinuating they're inbred is an insult to those of us who keep it in the family.
September 11th, 2022 at 4:35 PM ^
user name checks out
September 11th, 2022 at 4:40 PM ^
It’s called ‘line breeding” with bird dogs and thoroughbreds. You leave hillbilly alone!
September 11th, 2022 at 4:53 PM ^
Perhaps they'll hire that noted avatar of ethics, Jim Tressel.
September 11th, 2022 at 5:35 PM ^
Urban Meyer could teach MSU a thong or two about character and leadership!
September 11th, 2022 at 5:50 PM ^
You mean Urban "stinky fingers" Meyer? Gotta hand it to him his libido is still going strong.
September 11th, 2022 at 8:41 PM ^
Probably a typo, but "thong" was a good choice.
September 12th, 2022 at 4:38 PM ^
I'm gonna assume "thong" was a choice, cuz if it wuz, it's brilliant.
September 12th, 2022 at 12:16 AM ^
Urban was an angel compared to Dantonio.
You wanna talk skeletons???
September 11th, 2022 at 8:23 PM ^
That might be worth it to watch the OSU crowd trying to decide whether to boo or cheer when he's introduced as the MSU President.
September 11th, 2022 at 2:37 PM ^
Or couches will burn in E. Landfill…or as it’s known there Tuesday.
September 11th, 2022 at 2:39 PM ^
I am an MSU alum and live right down the road in Lansing and still pay almost zero attention to the place, what happened? Another scandal, or do they just have to trim some fat because they signed a coach who will never even win his division, to an insane contract, about two months after they were asking for volunteers to staff their dining halls?
September 11th, 2022 at 2:55 PM ^
They fired the Dean of the Business School for failure to follow mandatory reporting procedures. He denied all accusations, had the support of a number of professors, and they hired independent investigators. The board seems to be on the Dean's side, by my read of the Free Press' report.
September 11th, 2022 at 8:29 PM ^
So the President is being fired for holding the Dean accountable for unethical/illegal conduct. Very on brand for Sparty.
September 11th, 2022 at 2:42 PM ^
My sports brain read the title as the RCMB issuing an ultimatum, which seems on brand for sports message board fans.
September 11th, 2022 at 3:11 PM ^
Any official statement from RCMB would be written in crayon.
September 11th, 2022 at 3:21 PM ^
Or animal stickers
September 11th, 2022 at 3:36 PM ^
That's because they would be offended if asked to use a number 2 pencil.
September 11th, 2022 at 3:54 PM ^
Main problem there is they couldn’t write it in green because it’s their favorite flavor
September 11th, 2022 at 4:58 PM ^
Or emoji’s, half of which would be eggplants.
September 11th, 2022 at 2:49 PM ^
So who do you think the shortlist of candidates are to be fired next?
September 11th, 2022 at 3:09 PM ^
Go to LinkedIn and search for any alumni with degrees from MSU. I am sure the board will want to hire one of their own this time. Cannot trust outsiders with insider information.
Preferably a former athlete or athletic donor. Mat Ishbia?
September 11th, 2022 at 4:13 PM ^
Keith Appling or Adrien Payne? Izzo can vouch for them….
September 11th, 2022 at 5:06 PM ^
Adrien Payne could be in the running because he is unfortunately dead.

Would be like "Weekend at Bernie's" for their board which seems to fit them well.
September 11th, 2022 at 6:18 PM ^
Oops! Mateen Cleaves, another fine spartan…
September 11th, 2022 at 6:38 PM ^
They already have public video of him naked chasing a woman in a hotel parking lot so he should be qualified.
September 11th, 2022 at 3:00 PM ^
Is Harbaugh still in the running?
September 11th, 2022 at 3:48 PM ^
they will probably just promote Brian Mosallam. hut hut!
September 11th, 2022 at 5:51 PM ^
That guy's picture is under the word fluffer in the dictionary
