EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan State says the Big Ten has notified the Spartans of a possible “conduct violation” stemming from its emotional win over Michigan.
Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis says the school will forward a written report to the conference when an internal review is finished. Hollis didn’t go into any detail about the nature of the possible violation.
The Spartans beat Michigan 28-14 on Saturday. Michigan State defensive lineman William Gholston was shown on video appearing to twist the helmet of Michigan’s Denard Robinson during a pileup. Gholston was also shown taking a swing at a Michigan lineman on another play, appearing to connect with his face or neck.
No. 15 Michigan State hosts No. 4 Wisconsin on Saturday night.
