According to reports, Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann got his panties in a bunch about the tradition and how it made the end of the game take longer.
Following the game, MSU head coach Tom Izzo apologized to Holtmann but added that kissing the logo is a big deal.

Tom, you do not owe anyone an apology for this AWESOME tradition!
Leave it to Ohio State folks to try to ruin the fun.
