Spartans reportedly nearing hire of next AD, Georgia Tech's J Batt listed as a finalist
Spartans reportedly nearing hire of next AD, Georgia Tech's J Batt listed as a finalist It appears Michigan State has zeroed in on a few finalists for the open athletic director role, with one report on Sunday suggesting there's a front-runner for the job. Tony Paul of The Detroit News posted on social media early on Sunday morning that Georgia Tech director of athletics J Batt has "emerged" in the Spartans' search for the same position. Batt has been at Georgia Tech for two years, where he has had a lot of success in fundraising and is known as a "big basketball guy" according to Paul. Somewhat conflicting with Paul's report, a few hours later Justin Thind of 247Sports reported that Michigan State is at the "shortlist of finalists" stage, with "no singular candidate being the focus above the rest at this point." Thind's report came roughly six hours after Paul posted on social media platform X, so one can believe this note from Thind was from following up on Paul's initial report. Thind did add in an additional post on X that Batt is "one of the finalists" so there appears to be some clear interest in Batt from Michigan State. Michigan State parted ways with Haller earlier this month after a nearly four-year run. Haller's final day at Michigan State was May 11. It'll be interesting to see if a decision is coming soon for the Spartans. Both Paul and Thind's reporting would suggest Michigan State is close to making a hire and at this point in the process they are now just finalizing who that person will be.

Every Michigan State player to reportedly be in this year's college football video game
Every Michigan State player to reportedly be in this year's college football video game The entire Michigan State football roster is expected to be in this year's EA Sports College Football 26 video game. Justin Thind of 247Sports reported on Thursday that he has been told that every scholarship player on the Spartans' roster will opt to be in this year's game. That was not the case last year, with a number of players electing to not be included in the video game. Here's what Thind wrote on this subject: "A source tells Spartan Tailgate that no Michigan State football scholarship players are expected to opt out of their inclusion in the game. Last year, over a dozen MSU players were missing from the game upon its release, with some starters - like Cal Haladay - never making it in, not even after the midseason updates. This time, the game is set to launch with the full Spartan roster barring an unforeseen surprise." Thind additionally noted that the increased payout to players from $500 to $1,500 and improved opt-in process played a role in the increased numbers of "real" players in the game. EA Sports will officially release this year's version of its college football video game on July 10th (or on July 7th for deluxe edition preorders).

‘Packing up and leaving is not easy': As border tensions escalate, Punjab villagers on high alert
A chilling announcement pierced the quiet of Alam Shah village in Punjab's Fazilka district three days ago. 'Assi suniya ki jung da mahaul hai…koi vi sham nu 6 vaje toh baad ghar toh bahar na niklo (We are hearing there is a possibility of war…no one should step outside their homes after 6 pm),' a voice streaming over a loudspeaker from the local gurdwara in the village that lies just half a km away from the Indo-Pak border said. With tensions soaring over India's possible military response to the Pahalgam terror attack and the Centre directing northern and western states and Union Territories to test and strengthen their civil defence mechanisms on Wednesday, the border villages along the Indo-Pak border are on the alert. 'It was a call for unity,' Sukhmander Singh Thind, a member of the Alam Shah village defence committee, said about the gurdwara announcement. 'They asked every family to stay together and remain alert,' he added. While some villagers are paying heed to the warning and returning home early, Thind admitted 'not all' were as concerned. Along several border villages in Punjab, fear is tempered by experience. Alam Shah, like many other villages along the border, has seen several evacuations—in 1965, 1971, 1999, and 2016. 'Packing up and leaving is not easy. We will take a call only if we see something serious. In the past, when we left, our belongings were damaged or looted,' Thind added. In Tindiwala village of Ferozepur, the last habitation before the zero line, villagers are more practical. 'We have packed emergency kits: some clothes, savings, documents. If needed, we will leave via boat. It is a shortcut and safer than roads. Children and women will leave first; men will be the last to exit,' Parkash Singh said. Singh recounted the tales passed down by elders. 'In 1971, Pakistani troops entered the evacuated villages. They looted everything—doors, windows, even bricks. They sprayed chemicals that killed our trees,' he said. 'Despite that, we will wait until it is absolutely necessary. We are ready,' he added. As tensions escalate along the Line of Control, sarpanches in Punjab's border villages are also making lists of the number of houses, men, women, minors, total area under cultivation, etc, sources said, adding that such details have been shared with security forces too in many villages. In Ferozepur, a blackout rehearsal was held on Sunday night. 'Till last week, everything seemed fine. But now with blackout rehearsals, we are becoming more alert. We cannot afford complacency,' Veer Singh from Muhar Jamsher village in Fazilka said. Further down in Bhakra Gatti Rajoke, another Ferozepur border village, preparations are more hands-on. 'The Army is cleaning bunkers. We have kept candles, matchsticks, and water bottles ready, but we are still in the village,' said Vanjar Singh. 'It takes us only two hours to evacuate by boat. We grew up on the Sutlej—we are expert rowers,' he added. Several villagers have packed their essentials like land documents, savings, and jewellery. 'We have stocked up on potatoes, onions and garlic. Wheat and rice are homegrown. Pulses are yet to be added,' said Thind. An old, unused Army hospital in Tindiwala has now been made operational. 'We have been advised to switch off lights early at night, but few follow it. Interestingly, across the border, we see no lights at all. Possibly, they have already evacuated or followed blackouts strictly,' Parkash Singh noted. Not everybody is alarmed, though. Duleep Singh from Khajala Road in Amritsar said, 'We hear noise about war in the media. On the ground, things seem calm, though people are alert. My relatives closer to the border are still farming as usual. The real panic is in urban areas. Border villagers have seen it all. If war happens, we will stay and support the Army.'

Spartans reportedly trending for transfer portal defensive back prospect
Spartans reportedly trending for transfer portal defensive back prospect Michigan State football is reportedly in a good spot to land a transfer portal safety from Bowling Green Michigan State football is reportedly trending for a transfer portal prospect from the Mid-American Conference that played in 12 games as a freshman last year. Michigan State recruiting insider Justin Thind of 247Sports has entered a crystal ball prediction for the Spartans to land Bowling Green transfer safety Tracy Revels. Thind submitted the portal prediction on Saturday night. Revels played one season at Bowling Green, where he appeared in 12 games and recorded 40 tackles and one pass defended. He has three years of eligibility remaining. Revels reportedly visited Michigan State this weekend, and it appears that visit helped seal the deal in landing his commitment. No official timetable on when Revels could announce his commitment to the Spartans is known, but I would imagine it'll be coming soon. Thind is one of the best insiders around Michigan State sports, and this crystal ball prediction would suggest a deal is in place for Revels to join the Spartans.
