Two other Spartans are still in the running this weekend to make that dream come true. Also, Michigan State athletics is providing a way to help athletes during the NIL (name, image, and likeness) era that is soon to come. Find out how. And former NBA great Scottie Pippen is sparking up controversy, attacking former and current NBA stars. That, and more, on this Fri-yay edition of Current Sports!
