Michigan State men's basketball coach Tom Izzo took issue with the punishment the Big Ten levied on the school after Spartans football players' involvement in a melee.
cornerback Khary Crump, who is facing a felony charge, was suspended for the first eight games of the 2023 and four games from the Oct. 29 incident date. The conference said the other suspensions handed down to the other participants in the melee were sufficient and completed. The school was also fined $100,000.
"The Big Ten Conference has a standard of excellence both academically and athletically that has been built over 127 years," Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren said in a statement."Our standards require that our student-athletes, coaches and staff members represent the conference, and their member institutions, with the highest level of decorum and sportsmanship.
"I’m completely upset about it," Izzo said, via MLive.com."I think to get a $100,00 fine, a suspension of a player is fine but to get a fine like that and then the other school gets reprimanded. What the hell does reprimanded mean? I’ve told you guys I’m completely upset by what our players did, as Mel was. I would think that administratively, they should be upset on how the tunnel was handled and how those players ran in there.
