Upon hearing this insane news of the incident, the WMU football coach PJ Fleck didn’t waste any time to suspend both players from the team indefinitely.
They’re being picked by some to run away with their conference under the direction of head coach P.J. Fleck.
White and George allegedly held a semi-automatic weapon and knife on a female student while taking her money at an area off campus, according to Western Michigan officials. Working with descriptions of the suspects and their vehicle, WMU police found George and White just after 11:30 p.m., MLive.com reports.
Western Michigan opens the season September 3 at Northwestern. The students will be held accountable to all University student- code, Athletic-student athlete and Football Code of conduct standards.
The university’s spokesperson Cheryl Roland also stated that both players are now banned from the WMU campus during the case’s investigation.
Fleck said the players could be kicked off the team and dismissed from the University if the allegations prove true.
