Members of the Izzone cheer on the Spartans Saturday, Jan. 13, 2018, at the Breslin Center in East Lansing.  MSU lost to UM 82-72.

Fans in the Izzone are trading in their green and white for teal to show support for the victims of Larry Nassar. 

A MSU student and Izzone leader, Casey Copp started a GoFundMe page to raise funds to support foundations that aid local sexual assault victims. 

The #IzzoneTealOut comes two days after Nassar was sentenced to 40-175 years in Ingham County on seven counts of criminal sexual conduct. More than 150 women spoke at his sentencing including dozens of MSU students and Olympians Aly Raisman and Jordyn Weber.
