A third-party production company reached out to Spartan Athletics this preseason in hopes of filming a behind-the-scenes reality TV show of the MSU football team to air on HBO, much like the network’s popular NFL show, “Hard Knocks,” MSU associate athletics director John Lewandowski said.
The MSU-produced “Spartan Football All Access” show got an insider's look at a day in the life of head coach Mark Dantonio this past week, but an HBO show would have been weeks in the life of him and his team.
“HBO actually asked us to do that this season, do a “Hard Knocks” this season," Dantonio said.
