so from what is understood, men's basketball SID David Rosinski, ticket manager Pat Wallace and game ops Don Edwards have been let go...none of them given reasons from what I hear - just that changes were being made.
Rosinski let go and, from good sources, Stansbury is fighting Byrne to reconsider. Inside story is rather shady as the head guy MIKE NEMETH, apparently has bad blood with Rosinski in the past from both of their days together at South Carolina. Now, with Nemeth elevated to number 2 behind Byrne, there pretty much was no resistance (like there was from Templeton) for Nemeth to get rid of the guy. So, again, personal issues played a part in this and from what I can see, the athletic department continues to be shady.
Pat Wallace given the option to resign, but she declined to they fired her. Don Edwards, same thing. From what I hear, the severance packages were very weak period.
IMO, they are getting rid of the wrong people. Nemeth should have been the first one to go as there has been plenty of issues with his department in the past. The sports information department is very dysfunctional because of his leadership - split into two buildings (Hump/Bryan) with a very visible tension line between the personnel in the two buildings. Rosinki was just the first person Nemeth had a problem with, but I am sure there will be more people not on his "A" list before this is all said and done. That's what happens when you give the wrong man a power trip.
This guy (Nemeth) used to be a CHEERLEADING sponsor for goodness sake and now we're giving him power? Re-damn-diculous. Stricklin has always been in Nemeth's good ole boys network since his days in the MSU sports information office and, low and behold, is now back at MSU in a power position. Amazing how that works.
