Mark Dantonio shoots down report that two players kicked off team

EAST LANSING -- Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio made a rare use social media to shoot down a Monday night report that two of his key players were no longer with the program.

Soon after Scout.com reported that cornerback Vayante Copeland and defensive lineman Robert Bowers were no longer with the program, Dantonio tweeted his response, that the report was "inaccurate and has no validity."

The most recent report that V. Copeland and R. Bowers have been thrown off the team are inaccurate and has no validity. #RedLocked

The report has since been updated.
