ESPN (link): Csont'e York gets 7-days in jail, 2-years probation, and a $2,000 fine
SIAP
York must pay $2,134.70 in medical bills to the man he punched, who also lost a tooth in the encounter. He also has a 358-day suspended jail sentence that will go away provided he successfully completes his two-year probation period.

On another note: Who is this Dan Murphy guy for ESPN, I feel like he only posts negative articles related to Michigan. Did he work for the FREEP or something? He even ties Lewan into this just like he ran a full Brandon/Hoke/Morris timeline during his lower student season tickets piece the other day.
MODS - PLEASE LOCK IF THIS THREAD GETS OUT OF HAND.

The article says he's transferred to Toledo, but he is currently not listed on the roster. Not surprising as he has to sit the year anyway.
October 24th, 2014 at 5:00 PM ^
I don't think he joined their football team, he just enrolled at Toledo.
October 24th, 2014 at 5:01 PM ^
It doesn't mention him playing football or even trying to play football.

He was a good story when he committed and this one (gigantic) mistake shouldn't prohibit him from making something out of his life.
October 24th, 2014 at 5:26 PM ^
Isn't he the one that works solely for the Big Ten Blog or something? Too bad they reallocated Chantel away.
October 24th, 2014 at 5:39 PM ^
...posts regularly for ESPN's Big Ten Blog on general topics, but it does seem that he has been tasked with covering Michigan. Any thought that his negative Michigan articles is because he is an ND grad or has a vendetta is probably better be explained by the state of our program and the nature of recent, reportable incidents.
October 24th, 2014 at 6:48 PM ^
I think he can report it without linking it to every other negative thing that's happened.
ND has a WR dating a pornstar, he doesn't use that as an excuse to bring up the academic issues in South Bend. He just reports on the topic he's talking about at that time, an 18 year old and boobies.
October 24th, 2014 at 9:21 PM ^
...what you are saying but ND isn't part of his beat, and including the Lewan bit in this article is probably more due to the fact that it didn't warrant a story of its own and is unfortunately topically related to York's incident.

Dan Murphy
Was on ESPN front page (which it should've been)...but it had a story of it's own. With video and everything.

I guess the mere fact that it doesn't merit a story of its own doesn't mean one won't be written.

C'sonte gonna have to do a little time. I think he's gettig off easy. Hopefully he can put it all behind him and go on to have a productive career somewhere...
October 24th, 2014 at 5:51 PM ^
I'm sure he will be a new York when this is all over.
October 25th, 2014 at 10:44 AM ^
It's up to you, new York.
October 24th, 2014 at 6:14 PM ^
October 24th, 2014 at 6:19 PM ^
This is enough punishment to make him experience first-hand that there are consequences for committing acts of violence, but he still has plenty of opportunity to build himself a good life. I hope he "sees the light."
October 24th, 2014 at 6:24 PM ^
you could hope for and I do hope he takes that path.
October 24th, 2014 at 6:27 PM ^
Hopefully he can move on, as well as the victim. It was a bad situation all around, but this feels like a good solution.
October 24th, 2014 at 6:57 PM ^
October 24th, 2014 at 8:26 PM ^
Unless York makes it in the NFL, he is not likely to have much money to pay off a civil judgement.
The victim is unlikely to find a lawyer willing to take on a civil case on a contingency basis. Neither will get paid much, if anything, for years for years to come.
Best for both parties to just move on.
October 24th, 2014 at 9:29 PM ^
October 24th, 2014 at 10:13 PM ^
Yeah York isn't going to the NFL.
October 25th, 2014 at 11:12 AM ^
who are still playing for Michigan.
