In what can only be described as disappointing news, Michigan State football has been punished by the NCAA for its involvement in some recruiting violations under Mel Tucker.
The former head coach as well as Saeed Khalid and Brandon Jordan were punished by the NCAA with show-causes as well as the Michigan State program vacating all wins from 2022-2024. That means that Jonathan Smith has yet to win a Big Ten game, according to the NCAA.
Along with vacating wins, Michigan State will face a fine, reduce official visits in each of the next three seasons, unofficial visits will also be reduced, and other recruiting reductions and punishments along with a three-year probation.
