The charges stem from a fight involving the seven Spartans players charged and Michigan defensive back Gemon Green, who suffered a concussion, following the alleged assault.
Multiple videos of the fight went viral on social media. The Spartans suspended the seven players in question indefinitely on Nov. 1.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh passionately defended his team and made it clear that he expected criminal charges to be pressed against the Spartans players who were involved.
