North Texas' 'Mean Green' fight with ESPN, Michigan State is over
Ben Queen / USA TODAY Sports
It appears North Texas' issue with ESPN using "Mean Green" to refer to Michigan State is over.
After North Texas athletic director Wren Baker threatened both the cable network and Michigan State with cease and desist letters over the use of "Mean Green" to promote the Spartans' game this weekend against Michigan, a resolution has been met.
Thx to ESPN for reaching out quickly & correcting Mean Green usage. I appreciate MSU AD Mark Hollis for reaching out as well. Love the national respect for our brand! pic.twitter.com/M4yhgIrwRh
