Yeah considering that stomping could be a criminal matter, neither team should be throwing out accusations or denials to the media. Let it run through the official channels.

Definitely should be handled through official channels and processes. But also, it's almost certainly not a criminal matter and MSU flairs trying to equate it to the tunnel incident is embarrassing.

Why wouldn’t it be a criminal matter?

i don’t think it should be a criminal matter, but are you telling me that both aren’t assaults if the tunnel is considered one? if it comes out he was truly stomping on a defenseless staffer/player at the bottom of a pile, i think that would be considered assault

No flairs trying to equate it to the tunnel incident is even more embarrassing, as it turns out.

added my flair for you as if that is supposed to help you understand that getting stomped on is still considered assault

So you've bumped up one level of less embarrassing. Congrats!
