Michigan State coach Tom Izzo to his basketball players: Sacrifice if you want to play

Michigan State coach Tom Izzo to his basketball players: Sacrifice if you want to play Michigan State basketball enters an unprecedented season with the perfect man for the job: Tom Izzo.He won’t slip on a spacesuit or an Iron Man costume or a peace sign necklace, part of a 60s-era ensemble he once wore, replete with a Flower Power bandana and a mane that stretched past his shoulders.

LANSING, Mich. — A second team of prosecutors has concluded that criminal charges are not warranted against a former Michigan State basketball player who was accused of sexual assault early this year.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's office said it thoroughly reviewed the allegations against Brock Washington and didn't find grounds to bring charges.

Due to Big Ten policy, Wolverines fan says he will miss first game at Michigan Stadium since 1964

Due to Big Ten policy, Wolverines fan says he will miss first game at Michigan Stadium since 1964 Michigan fan John Levinson says Saturday's game will be the first time he's not been present at a Wolverines game at the Big House since 1964.“The only reason I am not at the game,” he’d say, “is because I am 6 feet under somewhere.

"Following an in-depth review and consideration of the evidence, the Attorney General’s office has decided not to file charges against Brock Washington, who was a Michigan State University student and athlete when he was accused of sexual misconduct," AG spokesperson Ryan Jarvi said in an email to the Lansing State Journal.

Jarvi said prosecutors conducted a "thorough evaluation of the circumstances, witness testimony and other information" before declining to authorize charges.

Nessel's office agreed to review the case after the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office declined to bring charges against Washington. Prosecutor Carol Siemon said her office couldn't prove the case in court.

Washington was accused of assaulting a woman in January in East Lansing, during his junior year at Michigan State, according to a police report obtained through a public records request.

Opinion: No. 6 Oklahoma State has the defense, but rest of team ended its title hopes

Opinion: No. 6 Oklahoma State has the defense, but rest of team ended its title hopes No. 6 Oklahoma State showed a championship defense against Texas. But too many other mistakes ended its hope of making the College Football Playoff.Alas, we also learned the Cowboys no longer have national championship aspirations. Texas took care of that dream with a 41-34 overtime victory over the Cowboys that the Longhorns had no business winning.

He was suspended from the team Jan. 24 for undisclosed reasons.

Michigan State's Office of Institutional Equity determined Washington assaulted a woman and recommended banning him from the university for violating school policies, ESPN reported. At the time, Michigan State did not confirm or deny that report, saying the appeals process was still underway,

Washington's attorney, Mary Chartier, said the university granted his appeal of the findings and will give him a hearing, probably in December. Michigan State's own rules say a hearing should be held when the accuser's credibility is at issue, she said.

Washington strongly denies the allegations, Chartier said.

"It's frustrating to me that allegations somebody makes against someone are not really looked at," she said. "So I'm glad MSU has granted our appeal, and now we get the opportunity to present the case we wanted to all along."

College football winners and losers from Week 9 include Notre Dame, Michigan and Big 12

College football winners and losers from Week 9 include Notre Dame, Michigan and Big 12 Clemson was challenged but survived against Boston College to top this week's list of winners and losers in college football.Not that one loss would've eliminated the Tigers, who have made five straight appearances in the playoff. Even had the Eagles pulled off the upset, Clemson could have secured a spot in the semifinals by running the table, which would have included at least one and possibly two wins against Notre Dame.

Michigan State spokeswoman Emily Guerrant said the case remains under "appeal/review" and that no sanctions would happen until the "full process is over." She acknowledged that the appeal process can include hearings.

Washington is not currently enrolled at Michigan State, Guerrant said.

Washington wants to clear his name but does not intend to go back to Michigan State, Chartier said, adding the ordeal has "soured him to the MSU experience."

  • Slide 1 of 29: No. 1: John Calipari, Kentucky: $8,158,000 – In June 2019, Calipari and the school signed a new 10-year contract. His basic pay from UK this season is the $8 million that had been planned under his previous terms, and it is set to remain unchanged for 2020-21. But then it’s scheduled to increase to $8.5 million a year for three years and to $9 million for each of the final four years. If Kentucky were to fire Calipari without cause this April, he would be owed more than $60 million, subject to his duty to mitigate by finding subsequent employment.

So, how is he making less this season than he did last season, when he made $4.15 million, not including $1.25 million in incentive bonuses? Last year, he qualified for a $1 million retention payment, and, according to the school’s announcement of his new agreement, he turned down a pay raise larger than the 5% annual increase he is guaranteed.

He got the $100,000 annual pay increase called for under his previous deal, and he is scheduled to continue getting $100,000 increases each year.

In an amendment to the deal after last season, IU agreed to allocate $100,000 for an annual supplemental compensation pool for Miller’s assistants. Miller can get a bonus of $125,000 each year based on the team’s NCAA Academic Progress Rate. That is one of the more lucrative academically based bonuses for a Power Five public-school men’s basketball head coach – and he’s achieved it in each of his first two years with the Hoosiers.

    No. 22: Sean Miller, Arizona: $3,247,534 – Miller’s basic compensation for this season is $2.8 million. But in case his employment is terminated without cause or because of disability, he has become entitled to 29,267 units of a publicly traded limited partnership held by the University of Arizona Foundation on behalf of the university’s athletics department. Absent Miller’s termination for either of those reasons, the cash value of the units won’t become payable unless he is Arizona’s coach on May 31, 2022.

More than half of Few’s total -- $1,562,275 --- was reported as bonus pay. Gonzaga was an NCAA tournament finalist in 2017. The return stated only that Few, like 10 other school employees, received “non-fixed” amounts at the discretion of the president or board of trustees and “based upon accomplishment of key departmental objectives.” A school spokesman declined to elaborate.

    No. 25: Dana Altman, Oregon: $3,100,000 – Altman received a three-year contract extension after last season that added $100,000 to the $200,000 increase he already had been scheduled to get for this season. He’s now set for a raise of $225,000 next season and then increases of $300,000 and $250,000 in the following two seasons. His perks continue to include, upon presentation of proper receipts, up to $25,000 a year to reimburse him for travel expenses by him to visit friends or relatives, travel expenses by him to have relatives or friends visit, or travel expenses by him to have friends or relatives attend Oregon athletic events.
  • Slide 23 of 29: No. 23: Tom Crean, Georgia: $3,200,000 – Crean’s compensation is unchanged from last season, which was his first at Georgia – and it is scheduled to remain unchanged throughout a deal that is set to run through April 30, 2024. While he has not yet had great success on the court, Georgia has had two of its top five average home attendance figures for a season with Crean on the sideline.

    No. 26: Chris Holtmann, Ohio State: $3,082,663 – Last season, Holtmann led the Buckeyes to the NCAA tournament round of 32 for the second time in as many seasons at the school. He received a 3% merit increase to his base salary after last season, bringing it to nearly $581,000. The remainder of his annual compensation package remained unchanged.
  • Slide 24 of 29: No. 24: Mark Few, Gonzaga: $3,191,368 -- Because Gonzaga is a private school, Few’s total is the one reported on the school’s most recently available federal income tax return, which covers pay for the 2017 calendar year, including benefits and bonuses. More than half of Few’s total -- $1,562,275 --- was reported as bonus pay. Gonzaga was an NCAA tournament finalist in 2017. The return stated only that Few, like 10 other school employees, received “non-fixed” amounts at the discretion of the president or board of trustees and “based upon accomplishment of key departmental objectives.” A school spokesman declined to elaborate.

    No. 27: Frank Martin, South Carolina, $3,050,000 – Martin’s compensation moved above $3 million this season due to the latest annual $100,000 increase he is getting under a deal that is set to run through March 31, 2023. If the Gamecocks play in the NCAA tournament this year, in 2021 or in 2022, another $50,000 would be added to the increase for the following season.

    No. 28: Matt Painter, Purdue, $3,025,000 – Under an amendment in 2018, Painter’s contract became a five-year, rolling deal as of July 1, 2019. But the amount of his compensation for the 2022-23 season and beyond was left to be determined. The contract states that “from time to time as agreed by the Parties, and in any event not later than June 1, 2022, Purdue will invite the Coach to engage in negotiations” to determine future pay. After such an invitation is made, the parties are to “negotiate in good faith for a period of up to 60 days to reach agreement” on the matter.

    No. 29: Mark Turgeon, Maryland: $3,015,508 – Turgeon’s original contract was scheduled to run from May 2011 through May 2019. It was never amended, although replaced in July 2016 by an agreement that is set to expire in May 2023 and also never has been amended. But both deals included guarantees of annual raises that, over the past six years, have ended up moving Turgeon’s annual pay from just over $2 million to just over $3 million.
