East Lansing — It’s been two weeks since Bill Beekman announced he was stepping down as Michigan State’s athletic director. Since then, there has been little more than speculation as to who might succeed Beekman.
The campaigning has continued as more support rolled in Friday for an internal candidate while an outside group has made a push for Michigan State to hire a woman.
On Friday morning, a group of former Spartan football players — this time a large contingent from Duffy Daugherty’s 1965 and 1966 national championship teams — gave their endorsement for Alan Haller, currently Michigan State’s Assistant Vice President/Deputy Athletic Director.
