Family rejects abuse cover-up accusations against Bo Schembechler

The family of University of Michigan football coach Bo Schembechler issued a statement Tuesday insisting that he was not aware of the abuse of Dr. Robert Anderson.

"It is telling to us that Bo never spoke to any of us about inappropriate behavior by Dr. Anderson" the statement reads. "To the contrary, in our steadfast opinion, Bo was not aware of such conduct and assumed that any procedures were medically appropriate."

"As he demonstrated at many points in his career and to us as a family, Bo had a clear and compelling sense of right and wrong: he would not have tolerated misconduct, especially toward any of his players, family members, coaches or to anyone associated with the University of Michigan’s football program," the letter continued.
