"They were arraigned Wednesday in District Court in Mason on a felony robbery charge, according to court records. Williams also was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery in the April 21 incident.

A pretrial hearing was set for Oct. 30 on the robbery case.

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said in a statement, which didn't identify the players, that they have maintained their innocence. He said the team was notified in April about the case and has monitored the situation."

Team and school knew about charges 6 months ago.

"Dantonio said the players will remain on the roster and retain the opportunity to play. Adams is a starting linebacker, Williams a starting cornerback and Ware a reserve."

Well geez, glad to hear the coach is upset about it. Guess Dantonio is following the Bob Huggins discipline route taken from his Cincy days. Just a joke.

Too bad they didn't mention Houston Nutt there - that would just given the PTB up there a reason to fire DMW and the MSM.

UNTBOWLER...just what is that white thing across the dogs nose????

It's all about the wins and the money. If these kids were not stars on the team, guess how fast the coach would do the "right thing"? When is the last time a coach didn't take a "super star" because of character issues? Am sure it has happened, but the money involved in college sports these days sure seems to "help" coaches, fans and donars "look the other way". Too bad. The lessons being learned are not the lessons I worked hard to teach my kids. Had a son that played sports all the way through college. If you have not had that experience, well, it can be interesting to be that close and see what is done in some programs. Too bad, but we need look no further than the mirror to see who "created this monster".

When a coach in college sports makes over $2million per season...AND UP....but is fired for a 7-5 record and a bowl that is not a BCS bowl, well, do you not think it sets up this sort of thing? TEMPTATION...Oh, the temptations.

We need to do more to recognize the kids doing the right thing and the programs doing the right thing! Stop recruiting this sort of character issue in the first place. Let the kids know that if they want to play sports, they have to keep their noses clean...start in Junior High and soon enough this sort of garbage might just stop. But, I wonder if anyone has the guts to start?

Hey, they haven't been CONVICTED yet! The only reason to kick an athlete off the team due to a mere allegation is when a whore inconsistently accuses rich white boys of rape.
