Mark Dantonio isn’t talking about it anymore. He made his point loud and clear before opening up questions at his weekly press conference.
The hot topic of the week has been the pre-game skirmish between Michigan and Michigan State on Saturday. Mark Dantonio has made his statement. Jim Harbaugh pitched in his two cents. Both athletic departments have issued statements.
Now, Dantonio is done talking about it. And before the weekly press conference, it made it clear, letting the media know that if he received any questions about last Saturday, it would be an extremely short conference.
“I’ll take no other questions about that and we’ll get on with Purdue,” Dantonio said. “Otherwise, this will be the shortest conference and you guys all drove up here for nothing. So, I’ll take questions on Purdue.”

Dantonio is clearly tired of the back-and-forth between the two programs.
The Michigan State head coach hasn’t said much on the situation, other than responding to Harbaugh’s “bush league” comment, sayin git was “B.S.”
It sounds like the situation and the discussion has been squashed. It probably will resurface next fall, though.
