When Michigan State introduced J Batt as its athletic director in 2025, the former Georgia Tech department head expressed a bold vision for the Spartans.
“Working together, in alignment with university leadership, the full athletics department and an enthusiastic fan base, we can take the positive momentum already happening at MSU and reach new levels of success as we move into the next era of intercollegiate athletics,” Batt said in a Michigan State release on June 2, 2025.
