Michigan State University athletic director Mark Hollis resigned Friday, two days after disgraced physician Larry Nassar was sentenced for seven counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Hollis served in his role for 10 years, and oversaw the athletic department while Nassar treated some of the school’s athletes. Nassar also worked for USA Gymnastics, and treated some of the most high-profile gymnasts in the country. “Michigan State University is a great institution, and its greatest strengths are the people who call themselves Spartans,” Hollis said in a statement. There simply aren’t the right words to express our sympathy.”Hollis’ last day at the university will be Jan. 31, a spokesman for the athletic department confirmed to HuffPost.
