Harbaugh Calling For Accountability From MSU After Incident After Game
Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh says an incident between Michigan State players and two members of his team was traumatic after the rivalry game Saturday. Shortly after the game, videos surfaced of several MSU players pushing, shoving and punching two Michigan players. Harbaugh says an apology will not get the job done and there should be serious consequences for the individuals involved. MSU has suspended the involved players indefinitely and an investigation is underway.
