MSU donor files notice of intent against Board of Trustees, university fundraising arms

University donor Brian D. Posey and TM Leasing filed a notice of intent against the Michigan State University Board of Trustees, various university fundraising arms and agents, alleging they "breached" an agreement guaranteeing Posey season-ticket accounts, alongside other benefits, in exchange for his donation commitments, according to documents obtained by The State News. The notice of intent, filed on Sept. 24, lists Posey, The Ticket Machine and TM Leasing as claimants in the filing. Posey and The Ticket Machine have been "among the university's most substantial season-ticket customers and donors" for around thirty years, according to the notice of intent. Collectively, the filing alleges that they have purchased around $7 million in tickets and contributed approximately $1.5 million in donations in support of the football, basketball, hockey, volleyball, golf and marching band programs. Mavacy PLLC, the firm that is representing Trustee Rema Vassar in her current lawsuit against several members of the university, including President Kevin Guskiewicz, is representing the claimants. The notice of intent names the Board of Trustees, Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, Spartan Ticket Office, University Advancement and the Spartan Fund. The claim also includes Spartan Ventures, a non-profit entity. Associate Athletic Director Bryan Hoch and Senior Vice

Michigan, MSU fans donate 237 gallons of urine at 'Piss Off' for fertilizer research

For Michigan State University alumnus Trevor Peterson, the name alone was enough to sell him on the idea. Peterson and his friends waited in line for the "Piss Off," a research competition he learned aboutthrough social media. The name came up in the friends' group chat, and they instantly knew participation was mandatory while tailgating in Ann Arbor. "It's a little bit about the competition, but also at the same time, the competition is the fun part," Peterson said. "I'm also happy to provide research for the soil and fertilizer." However funny and gimmicky the promotion sounds, it worked. The researchers received exactly what they wanted: as much urine as they could get to turn into nutrient-rich fertilizer. The competition, organized by researchers at the University of Michigan and MSU, was designed for a process referred to as pee-cycling. Researchers at both universities are interested in extracting nutrients from human urine to eventually use it as a natural, nutrient-rich agricultural fertilizer. The fertilizer will be used at U-M's Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum and MSU's W.K. Kellogg Biological Station. In total, the "Piss Off" movement accumulated more than 237 gallons of urine. U-M fans won the competition by a
