More than 100 former Michigan football players, coaches and staff members attached their names to a letter, increasing the volume behind the defense of Bo Schembechler's legacy.
At question whether Schembechler knew that team doctor Robert Anderson was sexually assaulting his players and if the coach did enough to stop it.
Most notable among the names is Jack Harbaugh, an assistant coach under Schembechler from 1973-79 and the father of current U-M coach Jim Harbaugh.
The younger Harbaugh is not listed on the letter, addressed to "the University of Michigan Community."
The group attests in a letter obtained by the Free Press on Friday that Schembechler "would never have tolerated any abuse or mistreatment" of anyone within the program.
