MSU Trustees Approve Replacing Football Scoreboard

 EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The Michigan State Board of Trustees has approved a proposal for a new scoreboard and video screens at Spartan Stadium for the 2012 season.

The school says the project will cost $10 million and will be paid for by athletic ticket and sponsor funds. The existing scoreboards and sound system will be replaced.

Michigan State has been on an upswing lately in football, winning 11 games in each of the last two seasons.

The Spartans beat Georgia in the Outback Bowl earlier this month.
