Report: Bo Schembechler's Son Says Father Knew About Michigan Doctor's Abuse

Matt Schembechler, the 62-year-old son of former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler, said that he told his father that he was molested by former team doctor Robert Anderson during a physical in the 1960s. The legendary coach allegedly ignored the accusation and took great lengths to ensure Anderson kept his job, according to ESPN's Dan Murphy.

Matt alleges that Anderson molested him when he was 10 years old, saying Anderson fondled him and did an "anal probe" when he saw the doctor for a sports physical. When he told his father about the incident, Matt says Bo became physically violent with Matt and his mother, saying he didn't want to hear about it.
