Michigan State funding drive for Mike Hart statue

Following yesterday's 14-10 victory in football against the University of Michigan, Lou Anna Simon, president of Michigan State University (MSU), announced her willingness to revisit the desire to build a statue in honor of the former running back from Michigan, Mike Hart. Hart gained infamy from his post-game comments berating MSU after a 2006 victory in head football coach Mark Dantonio's first year. Since that time, Dantonio has used Hart's comments as urgency to successfully lead the Spartans to an 8-3 record against the MSU rival.

The ES was at today's press conference, at the Administration Building on the East Lansing campus next to the Red Cedar River, and took these notes:

"We have previously discussed building a statue in honor of Mike Hart," stated president Simon.
