Michigan State University released a statement on Thursday announcing that the school was "investigating allegations of sexual assault against three MSU student-athletes" and added that "the three student-athletes under investigation have been suspended from team activities and removed from on-campus housing pending the conclusion of the police and Title IX investigations."
The University also said in the statement that the football program on the whole would be investigated by an external law firm, and that one staff member was suspended pending the findings of that internal investigation.
