Sherman: B1G person of the year is Michigan State's Mark Dantonio

Each of our Big Ten writers was asked to pick a Big Ten football "person of the year" for the 2015 season. Today on the Big Ten blog, each writer will lay out the case for his choice.

We’re more than halfway through this exercise, and I know what you’re thinking. More likely, in fact, I know what you’re not thinking -- about Michigan State.

Remember the Spartans? They won the Big Ten championship in 2015, blocked Ohio State’s defense of the national title and represented the league on New Year’s Eve, albeit with a forgettable performance, in the second College Football Playoff.
