I hadn't heard of this until now. Dantonio suspends 10 football players after a huge fight in a campus form.

East Lansing -- Michigan State football coach Mark Dantonio suspended eight of his players Tuesday, after they were identified as possible suspects in an ongoing investigation into alleged assaults in a campus dormitory within hours of the annual football banquet

As a police investigation continues into a fight at Rather Hall on Nov. 22, MSU police have identified a total of 10 current and former players as possible suspects who were involved in the alleged altercation.

Running back Glenn Winston of Detroit and defensive back Roderick Jenrette of Tampa, Fla., were kicked off the team by Dantonio on Nov. 24.
The university announced Thursday that Winston and Jenrette are possible suspects in the continuing investigation.

An additional eight players were suspended, and identified as possible suspects, on Tuesday. They are receiver B.J. Cunningham, receiver Mark Dell, running back Ashton Leggett, defensive back Chris L. Rucker, receiver Fred Smith, linebacker Brynden Trawick, nose tackle Ishmyl Johnson and defensive end Jamiihr Williams.

In a news release, the university said Dantonio suspended them for violating team rules.

Terry Denbow, MSU vice president for university affairs, said campus police are attempting to identify an additional five suspects who were present at the incident. Vanessa Moss Wilson of Southfield, a lawyer representing an alleged victim of an assault during the Rather Hall incident, told The Detroit News Saturday that 15 to 20 MSU football players were involved in the alleged assaults.

The 10 players now named were identified following interviews with victims, witnesses and a review of on-site video, Denbow said.
"The evidence regarding the actions of all suspects is still being collected," Denbow said. "The investigation, slowed by the Thankgiving break, is expected to continue this week."

BB73 - that's 8 additional + 2 kicked off = 10 affected players.

The 2 former were kicked off soon after the incident.

Makes the running total 10.

This is bad, as in win the Fulmer Cup bad.

It only reflects badly on MSU and Dantonio if they do little or nothing about it. So far, it seems they are responding appropriately

[psu]I dunno. I think stadium cleaning is a pretty fair punishment for football players when they go beating on...err defending themselves from students in the dorms. I mean everyone knows the local cops always have it out for the football team so this is probably all way overblown. Any of them starters?[/psu]

Dantonio recovering from heart attack

http://www.foxsportsdetroit.com/09/...-hear/landing.html?blockID=314044&feedID=3701

Shortly after Michigan State’s 34-31 overtime victory over Notre Dame, Spartan head coach Mark Dantonio was admitted to the Sparrow Hospital Emergency Room early Sunday morning with symptoms consistent with a heart attack, the university reported in a release Sunday.

According to the university, Dr. Chris D’Haem, DO -- an interventional cardiologist with Thoracic and Cardiovascular Institute (TCI) and Sparrow -- performed a cardiac catheterization procedure on Dantonio. This “relatively common” procedure used a small, metallic stent to open a blocked blood vessel leading to the heart.

“The procedure was successful and blood flow to the heart muscle was restored,” Dr. D’Haem said. “I’m very pleased with the outcome of the procedure. Coach Dantonio is resting comfortably following his procedure and is expected to make a full recovery.
