EAST LANSING—Monday marked exactly one year since ESPN’s Tisha Thompson chased down Tom Izzo in the hallway to the locker room after his team’s six-point road win over Maryland. Thompson was sent by ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” to get answers from Izzo about eight-year-old allegations of sexual assault within his basketball program that Thompson’s network reported.
Fast forward a year later to Michigan State’s Big Ten battle with Indiana on Saturday and it’s another ESPN crew visiting Izzo and East Lansing. ESPN’s College Gameday is set to visit East Lansing for a Big Ten-leading fifth time and first time since 2016.
