PR: Quotes from Coach Dantonio on Arnett

  • Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio:
    “We received exciting news from the NCAA late this morning, stating that DeAnthony Arnett’s waiver request has been granted, so he’ll be eligible to participate this season. The NCAA's decision isn't just beneficial to him as an individual but to his entire family as well, knowing that they'll have an opportunity to see him compete this season.

    “DeAnthony appreciates Michigan State’s complete team effort, led by (Athletics Director) Mark Hollis and (Faculty Athletics Representative) Mike Kasavana, in presenting his case. Our compliance staff, in particular Jen Smith and Holly Baumgartner, did an outstanding job of compiling all of his father’s medical records and presenting the facts to the NCAA. Our director of football operations Tim Allen also worked closely with the compliance staff throughout this process.

    "DeAnthony is thrilled with the NCAA’s decision, and he's looking forward to getting back to work in preparation for the upcoming season. He’s an outstanding young person, and we’re delighted that he’s been afforded the opportunity to further his education and athletic career here at Michigan State.”

    They were deciding if it would be worth receiving the flood of emails and letters they will be receiving from the Walmart faithful

    I'm still a little confused at how the walmarters do those letter writing campaigns...does a UM grad print out a bunch of copies for them and then the walmarters just sign an X? Is each uofm grad assigned a walmarter that they help with email?

    Your average UofM fan and I have something in common, neither of us went to UofM. Though we do share One major difference, I got Accepted.

  • Great news. I have a feeling that he may end up being our go-to WR this year.

    NCAA. Is this a serious question?

    Team MSU was fighting The Legion of Doom (Brandon, Delaney) fiercely. Any quick decision would have been unfavorable to Arnett.

    This is a huge victory for Team MSU. Delaney has taken notice.

  • Great news!

    Being called a sunshine blower is not insulting to me and I'm proud to be one.

  • Don't forget Hokes involvement. He said that Arnetts fathers heart is fine. Hoke said he eats five jars of cheese whizz a day and washes it down with liquified cows intestine and has never required heart surgery.

    Thank God Hollis was able to counter this successfully.
