But then another witness sent me a copy of his letter that he’d sent to the Big Ten, which corroborated much of what the first witness described. It was very clear the message they were trying to get across to the players: they were encouraging them to try and injure Blake’s knees.”Īlthough he put his name on the letter, and others have confirmed he is a credible source, there are few things I’m less excited to do than to dive back into this swamp, so I sat on his letter. In the first, the witness writes, “While working…on the Michigan State sideline I heard many of their coaches, players, and staff yelling and encouraging players to aim to tackle Blake Corum ‘at the knees and end his career.’… While I can’t identify specifically who was saying it, I know from turning around a few times after it was yelled that I saw it was a mix of players on the bench, staff in MSU clothing, and Coaches on the sideline yelling ‘aim/go for his knees,’ ‘tackle him at the knees and end his career,’ throughout the game. Frustrated with the Big Ten’s lack of a response, they sent copies to me this week. A number of witnesses have reached out, unsolicited, including two sideline workers who have sent letters to the Big Ten describing what they heard from the MSU players, staffers, and coaches during the game. In the past two weeks I’ve found out more than I wanted to without trying.
