A total of eight Michigan State players have been suspended for their role in the alleged assault of University of Michigan players.
Four additional players were suspended last Tuesday: Malcolm Jones, Justin White, Jacoby Windmon, and Brandon White - in addition to the original group of Tank Brown, Khary Crump, Angelo Grose, and Zion Young. Michigan State announced that the suspensions will remain active until the investigation concludes.
Video showed a brawl involving at least 10 MSU players when two U of M players entered the Michigan Stadium tunnel.
Gemon Green, the University of Michigan football player seen being attacked by Michigan State University players after Saturday's game, has hired a lawyer. Green suffered a concussion.
This is the second scuffle of the month after a Michigan game in Ann Arbor. When Michigan beat Penn State, the two teams got into a fight in the tunnel. Harbaugh has said that Penn State head coach James Franklin was the aggressor.
