Former Michigan Student Says Bo Schembechler Knew of Sexual Abuse by Team Doctor

A former University of Michigan student and football play-by-play announcer alleged in a lawsuit filed Thursday that legendary Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler knew team doctor Robert Anderson used his position to sexually abuse his patients.

According to ESPN's Dan Murphy, the person who filed the lawsuit is being identified as John Doe EB-17. In the lawsuit he filed against the University of Michigan, the plaintiff said he called football games for the school in the early 1980s and told Schembechler twice that Anderson sexually abused him during an appointment to treat severe headaches.
