Michigan State defensive back Khary Crump has been sentenced to 12 months probation and 80 hours of community service following the postgame incident in the Michigan tunnel in October, according to The Detroit News’ Matt Charboneau. He reached a plea deal in December.

Video showed Crump swinging his helmet at Michigan cornerback Gemon Green during the October incident, and he pleaded guilty to assaut/battery and disorderly conduct person-jostling as a result. He’s also facing an eight-game suspension to start the 2023 season after the Big Ten announced its punishments against the program in November.

Crump also addressed the court during his sentencing and expressed his desire to “regain the respect from the Spartan community and also the UM community.”

“First off, I’d like to say after deep thought and reflection on the night of Oct. 29 and the actions that occurred that night in terms of me and what I did with my helmet,” Crump said, via Charboneau. “I keep thinking of … remorse and disgust at the actions that occurred. I’d like to issue another apology to Gemon Green,  the University of Michigan and my own university, Michigan State, for how I represented them.”

Four players from Michigan tunnel fight likely to have cases dismissed

A physical altercation in the tunnels of the Big House that saw seven players charged following a football game between Michigan and Michigan State has some pending resolutions for a handful of the players.

According to a report from the Associated Press, four of the Michigan State players involved in the incident who are facing misdemeanor charges will likely have their cases dismissed “in exchange for community service and other conditions.”

Those players were Angelo GroseItayvion BrownBrandon Wright and Justin White, according to reporting by MLive.com.

“It’s going to happen outside of court,” said Max Manoogian, an attorney for Grose, according to the AP. “There is going to be no criminal responsibility whatsoever. There are no admissions being made, no pleas being tendered.”

The fight took the college football world by storm, in part because it wasn’t the first incident of its kind at Michigan, though it was certainly the most notable.
