Wilton Speight's Father Slams Purdue Medical Facilities After QB's Back Injury

Bobby Speight, the father of University of Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight, criticized how Purdue University handled his son's care after he suffered a back injury in September during the Wolverines' road game against the Boilermakers at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana.

Angelique S. Chengelis of the Detroit News passed along comments Thursday from the elder Speight, who stated there was "no urgency" and lamented the poor conditions:

"Wilton gets hit and didn't move for a little while, which is a parent's worst nightmare. The police took us down but were unable to open the door.
