Wolverines players Ja’Den McBurrows and Gemon Green, referred to the altercations as “sickening” and “egregious.”
“I’ll provide an update: Right now we have an ongoing police investigation. What happened in the tunnel was egregious,” Harbaugh said, . “It’s sickening to watch the videos. The ones that are on social media right now and also the ABC tunnel cam—it’s in a higher elevation, it shows much more of what took place.Harbaugh continued, explaining that he thought an apology would not be enough to remedy the situation and that he would be surprised if police charges were not filed. He also expressed his full support for McBurrows and Green, as well as their families.
“There needs to be accountability. There needs to be a full, thorough timely investigation. I can’t imagine that this will not result in criminal charges,” Harbaugh said. “The videos are bad, and it’s clear what transpired. It seems very, very open and shut. You know, as they say, watch the tape.I’m coming from this from a perspective of being a parent.
