“Mike Sadler was a giver, not a taker,” said Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said in a statement. “Mike was about life. He would want to be remembered as a person who embraced life. His wit, character, passion and competitiveness will live on through the establishment of this legacy scholarship fund. Mike Sadler will forever be associated with the Spartan football program.”
