On Tuesday, the Michigan State Spartans football team suspended four other players after two Wolverines opponents from the University of Michigan attacked them violently after the final game.
On October 29, after a 29-7 win for the Wolverines over Michigan State rivals, several Michigan State athletes attacked two Wolverines opponents in the tunnel off the pitch.
Many videos of the attack have also circulated on social networks. Linebacker Tank Brown, cornerback Khary Crump, safety Angelo Grose and defender Zion Young were the first to be disqualified from their squad.
The trials allowed the organization to sanction other athletes to bring the total to eight suspensions: defenders Jacoby Windmon and Brandon Wright, as well as cornerbacks Malcolm Jones and Justin White.
They dealt several blows to the defense of Gemon Green and his teammate, Ja’Den McBurrows, who tried to intervene to help him, according to Wolverines manager Jim Harbaugh.
He told CNN earlier this week that one of the victims may have had a broken nose as a result of the assault.
“I saw one of the videos, it’s 10 to 1, it’s deplorable,” he said.
According to ESPN, all eight forwards are suspended indefinitely by the Spartans. Michigan state manager Alan Haller and head coach Mel Tucker have released a joint statement explaining their decision.
“We are working transparently with law enforcement and the Big Ten Conference to evaluate further facts and evidence surrounding the Ann Arbor events,” they said. We will continue to take appropriate measures in this matter as we learn more. The student-athletes will be suspended pending the completion of the investigations “.
Recall that Jim Harbaugh filed for criminal charges against the players involved earlier this week. He had indicated that “apologies will not be enough”.
