Harbaugh: “Ongoing police investigation. What happened was egregious. Sickening to see the videos on social media…There needs to be accountability, a full throughout and timely investigation. I can’t imagine this won’t result in criminal charges. Clear what transpired.”

“These young men are entrusted to me by their families. To treat them like their own. An apology will not cut it. There have to be consequences. This has been a traumatic experience for everyone, especially Ja’Den and Gemon, and we will support them in every possible way.”

“I don’t buy any excuse on the rivalry or the tunnel. These are the actions of these individuals and they need to be held accountable for them.” — Harbaugh

That footage has not been made available to this point, but ABC did have a tunnel cam and that vantage point is being used in the police investigation.
