Spartans Will.
This has been a popular, successful, even irrefutable, creed Michigan State University has adopted during the past decade in firming its mission, goals and fundraising energies.
It’s solid and even a tad playful, with the word “will” doubling as a noun or a verb, depending upon one’s interpretation or experience.
Where the phrase teeters is when “will” fails to touch realities tied to revelations, beyond horrific, that have convicted a doctor, Larry Nassar, of sexual assault and that on Wednesday will see him sentenced for crimes against 140 or more women and girls who either were athletes at MSU or with USA Gymnastics.
