Spartans head coach Tom Izzo says he feels underpaid

Video: MSU coach Tom Izzo shills for Dove soap
If you couldn't tell by his annual get-up during Midnight Madness, Tom Izzo is 100% comfortable in his own skin. The guy who is no stranger to pounding his fist to light a fire under his players and isn't afraid to give an official a death stare is appearing in a new line of Dove Men+Care spots.
