Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller has requested that the Big Ten review what happened in the postgame altercation on the field at the end of Saturday's loss at Michigan. 'I was out on the field immediately,' Haller said Monday. 'I didn't see any of the things that I've since seen on videotape. I did call the commissioner immediately after the game. I thought the sportsmanship policy should be applied. I requested that the Big Ten look at this.
We had a staff member that was in the fray of it and a player in the fray of it, and that's what we're hoping looking into.' The last time the teams met at the Big House two years ago, a melee broke out in the tunnel with Spartans hitting, kicking and using a helmet to hit Michigan players. Seven Michigan State players were later charged with crimes and the Big Ten fined the school $100,000.
