MSU Names Palumbo Interim AD | Lansing News

Michigan State just tapped Jon Palumbo—its longtime executive deputy AD and COO—to step in as interim athletic director, replacing outgoing AD J Batt. With deep experience in finance, operations, and even hiring the new football coach, Palumbo is poised to keep things running smoothly while MSU searches for a permanent AD. He’ll also stay on as CEO of Spartan Ventures. President Kevin Guskiewicz praised the seamless transition and Palumbo’s proven track record, including stints at Georgia Tech, Texas A&M–Corpus Christi, and a college baseball career. MSU’s confidence is high as they look to both internal and external candidates to fill the permanent role. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
