So. It's been quite a week. There's the game. There's the board. There's Hitler on the Jumbotron. But, through all of it, there's also a championship winning women's soccer team, a competitive hockey team going on the road for a big test, and your Twitter questions! Join in the conversation next week @Spartan_Pod on Twitter and Instagram. 

Austria

Weekly podcast following Michigan State Spartan athletics, with a blend of Big Ten and national headlines sprinkled in.

Sports

In this episode, we discuss Izzo's search for an assistant coach, Friday night MSU football games, and the passing of Bill Walton before we get to the meat of the conversation - House v. NCAA's settlement agreement. We breakdown the payment to athletes, the impact on smaller institutions, the role of Title IX, and the potential changes to the transfer portal. It's a lot!
And of course we wrap with your Twitter Questions!
Join us for week one of the summer Twitter competition @Spartan_Pod!

"Burning Down the House"

MSU is starting to throw around its NIL dollar in the transfer portal, sitting pretty at #11 in the nation according to 247. Alan Haller goes on the record concerning a number of pertinent topics, and it it looks like the NCAA is going to settle its antitrust lawsuits. 


And, as always, we take your Twitter questions. Join in next week (if only to practice for the summer Twitter competition) @ Spartan_Pod on X(!!!) and Instagram.

The One Where We Like the Portal

It’s a lively Can’t Read, Can’t Write as we dive into MSU Football recruiting and transfer activity before turning our attention to rumors that Izzo is grabbing a center from the portal! 


We then head Off Grand River to discuss a recent poll on fan interest impacted by NIL and the transfer portal. We of course finish with your Twitter Questions.


Participate next week @spartan_pod on Twitter, Instagram, or check us out on YouTube.



Portaling for Spite

We dig into more transfer portal activity for MSU, discuss if "wish him luck" is the new "thoughts and prayers," celebrate some Spartan accomplishments, and lol at Mel Tucker. 


It's a vital episode because we begin outlining this year's twitter competition rules.

A Diss Track for the Ages

It’s a jam-packed Can’t Read, Can’t Write! We’ve got a high school commit, half the football team in the portal, and some portal commits too! Izzo finally gets his Fiddler and doesn’t want any insurance. Women’s hoops is heating up in the portal. And finally, a lively Off Grand River discussion about some important legal changes to college sports.


We of course wrap with your twitter questions. Join us next week @spartan_pod on twitter and instagram.
