The Associated Press reports:
Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller said he has suspended an employee involved in allowing Adolf Hitler’s image to be shown on videoboards before playing No. 2 Michigan.

Haller said no one in the department viewed the entire video, exposing a failure in its process.
