Michigan State hires Dan Bartholomae as new athletic director

Michigan State University is set to hire Dan Bartholomae, the current athletic director at Western Michigan University, to replace J Batt. The decision comes after Batt's departure to the University of Kentucky and follows a summer marked by leadership changes at MSU, including President Kevin Guskiewicz's brief acceptance and rejection of a position at Clemson. Bartholomae has a strong track record, including overseeing Western Michigan's NCAA hockey championship and facility construction projects. Contract terms for Bartholomae at MSU are yet to be disclosed, as he comes with a significant buyout from his previous position.
