MSU Athletic Director Mark Hollis opens up about fundraising for costly enhancements to the school’s athletic facilities and about what he’s learned after growing up an only child in a family contending with a mental disorder and an authoritative father.

Last week on Current State, Michigan State University Athletic Director Mark Hollis shared his thoughts on the post-season prospects for the men’s and women’s basketball teams and spring sports. He also described infrastructure and design renovations at the Breslin Student Events Center. In 2018, the home of Spartan basketball will become home to a MSU basketball Hall of History and a 26,000 square foot entryway.

In part two of his talk with Hollis, Current State’s Mark Bashore asked about the fundraising involved in such projects.
