Bo Schembechler's son says his father knew about Michigan doctor's abuse

A son of former Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler says he told his father that former team doctor Robert Anderson molested him during a physical exam in the 1960s, and that the revered coach ignored the complaint and went out of his way to make sure Anderson kept his role with the team.

Matt Schembechler, 62, says he was sexually molested by Anderson when he was 10 years old, within a year of when his adopted father was hired to coach the Wolverines and his family moved to Ann Arbor. Matt says Anderson fondled him and did "an anal probe" when he visited the doctor for a sports physical prior to joining the peewee football team.
