MSU reportedly increasing salary pool for next AD, hire could happen soon
MSU reportedly increasing salary pool for next AD, hire could happen soon A report on Tuesday suggested Michigan State is looking to make a big splash with its next athletic director hire
Michigan State is reportedly looking to put more money aside for its next athletic director -- which suggests they are looking to make a big-time hire.
Tony Paul of The Detroit News provided some notable insight on Tuesday into the search for Michigan State's next athletic director. Paul posted on social media platform X that he's hearing Michigan State will up the annual salary for its next athletic director from roughly $900,000 that Alan Haller made to potentially the "$1.5 million" range. Additionally, Paul added that this raise in salary would suggest the Spartans are in pursuit of a big-time "name" hire as its next athletic director.
Paul also added that Michigan State's next athletic director "could be in place by mid-June." Up until this point, there hadn't been a reported potential timeline on when the Spartans would hire its next athletic director.
Michigan State parted ways with Haller earlier this month after a nearly four-year run as the Spartans' athletic director. Haller's final day at Michigan State was May 11.
There hasn't been much of an update on the athletic director topic ever since the news broke on Haller's departure earlier this month, so this update from Paul is certainly interesting to hear and gives us insight to where Michigan State stands in its process. It appears we should have an indication of who will be stepping into the role as Michigan State athletic director in the next few weeks.
