Michigan Stadium—the home of the University of Michigan Wolverines—has more than 107,000 seats, but only one tunnel by which both teams can enter and exit the field.
That tunnel was the site of a brutal altercation following an Oct. 29 matchup between the Wolverines and their rivals, with footage of the fracas showing several Michigan State Spartans attacking a pair of Wolverines following the latter’s 29-7 victory.
On Wednesday, following a weekslong investigation by the University of Michigan Police Department, the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office announced that charges would be brought against seven Michigan State student-athletes. Six of the players—Itayvion Brown, Angelo Grose, Justin White, Brandon Wright, Zion Young, and Jacoby Windmon—were charged with one misdemeanor count of aggravated assault.
