MSU football assistant coach Curtis Blackwell will not return with the program after his contract with the university expires May 31, an MSU spokesperson confirmed Tuesday morning.
Head coach Mark Dantonio was the one who made the decision not to renew Blackwell's contract. Blackwell has been suspended with pay since February.
"Once his contract is completed tomorrow, he will no longer be an employee of the university," MSU spokesperson Jason Cody said.
Blackwell's contract was originally set to expire at the end of March, but had been given two one-month extensions.
"All I can say is that this was a decision (Dantonio) reached and the contract will not be extended," Cody said.
