On today's episode of Current Sports with Al Martin, Al begins the hour by breaking down Mark Dantonio's press conference from Tuesday ahead of their week one matchup against the University of Tulsa. In segment two, Al invites to the program Anthony Ianni, former MSU basketball player, motivational speaker, and the first Division one basketball player with autism, to talk about the upcoming MSU football season and the work that Ianni has done for the autism community in the past year. We close out the show by playing for you an excerpt from WKAR Reporter Scott Pohl's recent sitdown with new MSU President Samuel L. Stanley. In this clip Stanley discusses the importance of overseeing an athletic program at a Big Ten university.
