B.J. Cunningham, Mark Dell, Ashton Leggett, Chris L. Rucker, Fred Smith, Brynden Trawick, Ishmyl Johnson and Jamiihr Williams have been suspended for violation of team rules, according to a release form Spartans coach Mark Dantonio.

Brent Mitchell, a 20-year-old MSU junior claims he was injured in the fight and that 15 to 20 football players were involved in the melee.
