Michigan State University Trustee Mitch Lyons said he deeply regrets naming the now-former player who alerted coach Mark Dantonio to the sexual assault allegation that led to three other former players being charged.
"I deeply regret having said any name in that situation, because again, it wasn’t relative to what I was doing, which was standing up for Coach D and how he handled what he learned from the assault," Lyons said Wednesday at a MSU board of Trustees meeting.
Video of his statement is available here.
Lyons originally revealed the name during an interview on sports radio show The Huge Show in early June.
