Former Michigan football players detail what Bo Schembechler knew about Robert Anderson

When Bo Schembechler recruited Daniel Kwiatkowski and Gilvanni Johnson to play for the Michigan football team, he told their parents that he would take care of them like they were his own family.

But when Kwiatkowski and Johnson arrived in Ann Arbor, they were soon abused by Dr. Robert Anderson, the former athletic department physician accused of molesting hundreds of patients across decades.

Kwiatkowski and Johnson both say after they reported the incidents, Schembechler broke his promise — and did nothing about Anderson.

Thursday afternoon, Kwiatkowski and Johnson became the latest former Wolverines to step forward publicly and allege that Schembechler, whose name adorns the football facility and whose visage is captured by a statue outside of the facility, allowed Anderson’s assaults to continue unabated.
