Four Michigan State football players suspended for roles in Michigan tunnel incident

Michigan State coach Mel Tucker promised swift action in the wake of a fight between Michigan State and Michigan players in the tunnel at Michigan Stadium Saturday night immediately after the Wolverines’ 29-7 victory over the Spartans.

And by late Sunday night, Tucker had begun to act, announcing the immediate and indefinite suspensions of junior Angelo Grose, sophomores Itayvion Brown and Khary Crump and freshman Zion Young. All four were involved in the incident with Grose, Brown and Young seen on video recorded by The News punching and pushing Michigan player Ja'Den McBurrows.

In a statement released Sunday night, Tucker said the four players would remain suspended until investigations were complete “after reviewing the disturbing electronic evidence collected to date of the altercations between Michigan State and University of Michigan student-athletes.”
