The scope of Curtis Blackwell's wrongful termination lawsuit against Michigan State University continues to expand at a rapid pace, with the former football staff member now accusing the Jones Day Report of being a "manufactured attempt" by the university to clear head coach Mark Dantonio of any wrongdoing in the handling of sexual assault allegations against three players in January 2017.
Blackwell's allegation came in a court filing late Tuesday, which was met with a swift rebuke from the Jones Day law firm.
A Michigan State spokesperson wasn't immediately available late Tuesday night, but has repeatedly declined comment citing pending litigation.
