Following the establishment of merchandise supporting Michigan State University's Spartan Strong Fund, MSU Licensing has seen an uptick in the number of scams involving unlicensed Spartan Strong products.
Unscrupulous businesses and individuals have engaged in selling unlicensed apparel and other merchandise. The university cannot verify that proceeds from the sales of these unlicensed products will be donated to the Spartan Strong Fund.

The Spartan Strong Fund was created to provide support for the evolving needs of the individuals most critically impacted.
