Yesterday Michigan State's starting sophomore right tackle decided to just up and quit the program:
Offensive lineman Lukusa quits MSU football team

Then this morning there's rumblings of a mass departure of players (potentially three or more):
So King & Potentially Others Are Gone?

Names being mentioned: Josh King, LJ Scott, Donnie Corley, Demetric Vance, and Kenny Lyke.

This could end up being disastrous for MSU, especially if they lose LJ Scott -- the lone bright spot of last year.

Oh wait...I did find something on Google.

Rumors -- the great exodus from Michigan State
Looks like the page got deleted on the 247 forum, there's also mention of it on the latest MgoBlog update:
Unverified Voracity Says Good Job, Butch | mgoblog

"MSU OL Thiyo Lukusa has left MSU's program, reportedly to retire. Lukusa played last year as MSU tried to find any combination that would work and was widely expected to compete for and probably win a tackle spot. Not good for the Spartans as they try to pick themselves up after a 3-9 season.

And it might get worse, with rumors flying that a number of other MSU players are off the team. Nothing definitive yet but there is a lot of smoke out there."

And there it is:

MSU probing sex assault claims linked to football team

The Michigan State Police department is investigating allegations of sexual assault against three student-athletes, the university announced Thursday.

Though the statement doesn’t specify which sport, the statement’s title refers to a complaint “connected to the football program.”

According to the statement, “one staff member associated with the football program has been suspended by the Athletics Department pending the completion of that investigation.”

Yikes. What is happening in East Lansing? They had an article in the Detroit News today about a starting DT (forget the name) getting arrested for spitting in the face of an officer after getting a parking ticket?

Hope they get it figured out.

They trying to up their resume in hopes of joining the Big12 or something?

Leave? I don't think he has any intention of doing that. But if he doesn't get things figured out soon, he'll definitely have some heat on him. I don't think he's going to do well next year so really I think it depends on what happens in 2018.

I'm cool with Donnie Corley wanting to leave. Come on down to Columbus, my friend. This is the new WRU, afterall.
