MSU taps Bartholomae to steady its athletic department
Michigan State has tapped Western Michigan athletic director Dan Bartholomae as its next AD, hoping his fundraising prowess and program-building record can stabilize a debt-ridden department and support major facility upgrades, including a $500 million Spartan Stadium renovation; Bartholomae succeeds Batt after a volatile summer that saw Batt leave for Kentucky, with MSU's ongoing Spartan Ventures fundraising and governance shaping the hire.
