While three former Michigan State football players have been allowed to continue their careers and pursue their dreams of playing in the NFL even after each was sentenced to three years probation in a sexual-assault case, a former MSU football staffer alleges in an intensifying lawsuit that he continues to be blackballed from the industry after being wrongfully fired for his alleged role in the 2017 incident.
Curtis Blackwell, Michigan State's former director of college advancement and performance, is suing head coach Mark Dantonio, former president Lou Anna K. Simon, former athletic director Mark Hollis and two members of the Michigan State University Police Department in federal court.
