These are young men who made really bad decisions and should be held responsible for their own actions."Really bad decisions" is putting it lightly. It is Coach D-Bag's fault and it isn't. What separates this from, say, the St. Patrick's Day Massacre, is that Dantonio had a very good reason to kick Winston off the team before this happened and he didn't. While I doubt that Dantonio has as little control over his players as past MSU coaches, I can't think of an incident that appeared more coordinated and involved more players than this one, unless you go back to maybe SMU in the 80s. And Winston played a role in this assault, possibly a pivotal one. Any coach is accountable for such a thing to some degree (especially this type of thing!), but this is pretty big. I doubt D-Bag teaches his players to do these things, it's not the first fighting incident but it's a big one that he might have been able to stop. The thing that irks us the most is that people, Michigan fans included, have this idea that RR is a "win at all costs" coach who carelessly recruits shady players like Feagin to UM just as he did at WVU with Pacman Jones, Chris Henry, and Pat Lazear. RR recruits Feagin, embarrasses UM and the Big 10, and should have known better, while Dantonio gets a pass.
