From bad to worse for WSU's second opponent in the 2015 season. After practice today, five current players were arrested as part of a larger investigation into multiple home invasion robberies by a former Rutgers University student. In all, nine people were taken into custody on Thursday with one person remaining at-large.
The five players currently behind bars are facing charges from what prosecutors say was an unprovoked attack on four people in New Brunswick last April.
