A new lawsuit filed in federal court claims that legendary University of Michigan coach Bo Schembechler knew of abuse allegations against a former team doctor.
The lawsuit is one of many filed regarding abuse allegations against Robert Anderson, who is accused of sexually abusing myriad students and players in his time at Michigan. The latest suit, filed on behalf of over 50 people including an unidentified man who worked as a play-by-play announcer for Michigan while he was a student in the 1980s, includes the claim that the announcer told Schembechler twice of abuse by Anderson and Schembechler told him to take the allegations to then-athletic director Don Canham who did not report the allegations further.
