… since the well documented assaults on two Michigan players after last Saturday night’s game. Initially there was lots of conversation that the assaults were “under investigation” by various authorities—the local and state police, the Big Ten, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor. The only entity which has taken any action until now is Michigan State University—they “suspended” eight players “until the investigations were complete”. They did not penalize anyone. Even with the extensive video and interviews of people who were close observers of the assaults, it’s beginning to appear that if any entity was going to file criminal charges or penalize the perpetrators they would have begun steps to do so by now. There hasn’t been any announcement of the status of the investigations by anyone.
is it possible that the various authorities are simply going ignore this egregious incident? Let it slide and hope everyone involved will simply forget that it happened? That after a short time the suspended players will be reinstated by MSU with no penalties? That the Big Ten will take no action, even a letter of recrimination or warning? And that the Washtenaw County Prosecutor will simply decide not to charge the MSU perpetrators with even the simplest misdemeanor?
Wow! …. what else can be said?… Wow!
