Attorney: Michigan-Michigan State postgame tunnel incident instigated by Wolverines

An attorney representing a suspended Michigan State player involved in the fight in the tunnel at Michigan Stadium following the Wolverines' victory over the Spartans on Oct. 29 is saying Michigan State players were responding to the actions of a Michigan player.

David Diamond, a lawyer based in Los Angeles, released a statement saying, "We have learned that the UM player started the altercation. Eyewitnesses have described it as charging with his helmet and throwing a punch."

Reached by The News, Diamond, who is not revealing at this time which player he is representing, said the point of his statement was to push back against the narrative that Michigan's players are innocent in the altercation and all of the blame lies with the Michigan State players.
