Another day and another day that Mark Dantonio was disrespected.
The cover of next week's Sports Illustrated shows Michigan State's Connor Cook with the headline: "How MIKE Dantonio rebuilt the Spartans."
Whoops! Mike Dantonio isn't the head coach of Michigan State, his name is Mark Dantonio. (Yeah, we know you knew that).
"Mike Dantonio" made an appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week. https://t.co/yb8NChfhxtpic.twitter.com/c2hMjyNa0s

This isn't the first time that people have confused Dantonio's name.
Then there was this during the Big Ten title game:

Michael Rosenberg, who is the writer of the article, has since apologized for the blunder.
@DETJustin Actually, it is a coincidence. I don't see the covers until they are printed. But we are reprinting this one. Our fault.

As a Michigan State fan, do you accept the apology?
