A former Michigan student says the football program's most famous coach, Bo Schembechler, knew about the sexual misconduct of deceased team doctor Robert Anderson.
The accuser, identified as John Doe EB-17, worked as a play-by-play announcer for football games during his time at the University of Michigan in the early 1980s. In a lawsuit filed in federal court Thursday morning, John Doe EB-17 said he told Schembechler directly on two separate occasions that Anderson sexually abused him during an appointment to treat severe headaches. Schembechler instructed him to tell then-athletic director Don Canham, but Canham took no action, according to the lawsuit.
