Former Michigan receiver Csont’e York, dismissed from the team last month for his role in an assault captured on video that left a man with a shattered jaw, has enrolled in another university.
York, charged with one count of aggravated assault and two counts of assault or assault and battery stemming from an incident July 18 outside an Ann Arbor bar, is enrolled at the University of Toledo. His name appears in the school’s online directory.
A spokesman from the Toledo athletic department confirmed York’s enrollment but said it’s unclear what his status is with the Rockets football program. He has to sit out this season because of transfer rules.
“We are aware that Csont’e York has enrolled as a student at the University of Toledo,” the athletic department official said in an email to The Detroit News. “He is not on athletic scholarship. His status with our football program will be determined at a future time.”

Gosh I can't remember where I read it but back when Michigan announced they scheduled Appalachian State again in 2011, I remember reading that Michigan has tried to get Toledo on the schedule and Toledo wants no part of it.

Smart move. I think they'll play again eventually, though.

I hope he realizes the chance he blew at the University of Michigan and subsequently straightens his life out.  A lot of "college education" happens outside of the classroom and away from books.

Sorry no.  Anyone who thinks it's fun to play the knockout game with innocent people, especially Michigan students whos' jaws get broken in 3 places, is not the kind of guy you circle back to with the "I'd wager there's a good kid in there somewhere."  I mean, perhaps it could be rationalized as an abberant moment of inner rage of a troubled kid, but this was a kid blessed with a Michigan scholarship, going to great university with a full ride.  

That kid's dead to me and should be to anyone affiliated with UM.

Not that I am condoning anything that York did, because it was absolutely wrong. But let's not get the "knock out game" confused with what happened in this case. Yes he knocked a kid out, but it was in response to a perceived disrespect, or if you believe what he told police his perceived fear for a teammate. Not saying I believe that was the case, but I do believe there were words and attitude thrown around. I'm sure the "victim" wasn't 100% innocent... Where as the "knockout game" is from complete strangers, and as hard as it is to say, I think far worse! Just my thoughts.
