East Lansing — When Mark Dantonio took over as Michigan State’s head coach, he held his postgame press conferences in a trailer outside the tunnel at Spartan Stadium.
To say the Michigan State football program was behind — both on the field and off — was a bit of an understatement. In addition to the cramped press conferences, players prepared for games in tiny locker rooms and spent much of their week in facilities that were lagging far behind others in the Big Ten.
Things weren’t much better when the Spartans did take the field.
