  • MSU's Board of Regents decision to increase the scope of the planned Paducah extension campuby $200,000. The $10m bonded  project is funded by a joint agreement between Paducah, McCracken County and MSU.

  • The MSU softball team narrowly missed winning the OVC tournament championship this season.  But this week Coach Jay Pyron didn't receive a renewal on his contract.
