Although he’s been under much scrutiny this offseason, he has a chance to clear the air in front of conference media members on Monday afternoon.

If you’re looking to check out live action of the two-day event, tune into the Big Ten Network or online at BTN2Go. Wondering when is the best time to check in to make sure Dantonio is speaking? He’s scheduled to take the podium at 1:45 p.m. ET on Monday, according to Land of 10.

There will surely be plenty to talk about in regards to Michigan State’s upcoming season and the tumultuous offseason the Spartans faced, but you can bet he will want to focus on the present and future and not the past.

Dantonio will be one of the most highly sought-after interviews at the event and he will be joined by three seniors, and potential captains, in Brian Allen, Chris Frey and Gerald Holmes. The Spartans sent Josiah Price, Riley Bullough and R.J. Shelton last season.

The Spartans want to forget about the 2016 regular season and move forward after the rough offseason in which four players were dismissed for two separate sexual assault incidents.
