If you didn’t like Michigan State Athletics’ partnership with Caesars Sportsbook, you’ll be happy to know that it’s ending. Four years ahead of schedule.
You won’t see Caesars as a presence at MSU football and basketball games any longer. You’ll be able to pretend for three hours on Saturday that Spartan Stadium is a sacred place, more wholesome than the rest of college athletics, and that sports betting isn’t among the driving forces behind the popularity of major college sports and, thus, a significant piece of the revenue and resources flowing into athletic departments.
Sports betting will no longer be in your face — or in students’ faces — at the game or on campus.
