Among the assailants, the State News reported, were unnamed football players according to witnesses.
Brent Mitchell, a communication junior who said he was sent to Lansing's Sparrow Hospital after being punched in the face, said some of the men wore ski masks, but others were recognized as football team members."I walked up and said, 'It isn't worth it.' A guy with dreadlocks hit me and in the scuffle slapped, hit females to get them out of the way," Mitchell said....Mitchell said members of his fraternity, Iota Phi Theta, had just finished a potluck event and were folding chairs in the lounge when the men entered. The men said they were looking for a man who had been involved in a spat with one of them the night before during an Iota Phi Theta event at The Small Planet, 16800 Chandler Road, Mitchell said.Mitchell said he was struck after the men realized the person they sought wasn't there. He said the altercation lasted for about a minute before the men left.
Neither university officials nor campus police would comment on the specifics of the incident.
MSU spokesman Terry Denbow said that an "[i]nvestigation is continuing. I can't go beyond that."
What do you expect? It is Michigan. Thuggery is pervasive. The university won't do anything except make them team captain or something.
I believe you have "Michigan" confused with "Miami", dsmith4444.
COME ON. THIS GOES ON AT MOST, IF NOT ALL, COLLEGES AROUND THE NATION. IF IT IS NOT FIGHTING, IT'S PANTY RAIDS OR NUDE RUNS ON A COLD WINTER NIGHT. MAKING OUT-OF-SIGHT INFERENCES THAT IT'S THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE IN MICHIGAN OR MIAMI OR BRIGHAM YOUNG OR MISSISSIPPI IS JUST A SHOW OF IMMATURITY. SO, IF THAT'S THE CASE, GO ONTO NEWSVINE AND JOIN 1000'S OF YOUR CALIBER.
dsmith4444 your an idiot!

Relax with the all caps - IT IS ANNOYING TO READ. Also, one can only draw inferences from what someone else says or writes. I think the word you would want might be "observations".
SpankMonkey, try using "you're" as a contraction of "you are" instead of "your" - which, I believe, is a possessive pronoun. Trust me, you'll look smarter in print.
chemicalxv,
When has this ever happened in Miami, you worthless POS?
And we're talking about Michigan St for God's sake. When was the last time they were even remotely close to being relevant? Just be glad you're getting some sort of publicity. Moron.
