Michigan State's Season Finale: Disappointment and Calls for Change

During the 2024 college football season finale, Michigan State Spartans faced a disappointing turnout and performance against Rutgers, losing 41-14 and missing bowl eligibility. Despite the stakes, only 50,038 fans attended the game in Spartan Stadium, which has a capacity of 75,005. Factors such as cold weather and the Spartans' recent poor performance, with six losses in their last eight games, contributed to the low attendance. Michigan State ends the season 5-7, with a slim chance of making a bowl game if not enough teams reach the required six wins.
