MSU is expected to formally name their new A.D. on Monday.
Bill Beekman has been serving as an Interim Athletic Director for Michigan State University since January.
The university has planned an announcement for 11 a.m. on Monday to name the A.D.
A person with knowledge of the decision says Michigan State is set to hire Bill Beekman officially and take away the "interim" from his title.
Beekman took over on an interim basis shortly after Athletic Director Mark Hollis retired following the Larry Nassar sex abuse scandal and just before ESPN reported allegations involving Michigan State football and basketball players. The report questioned how the athletic department handled those cases.
Beekman has also been a vice president of the school and secretary of its board.
