Multiple Michigan State players and Michigan defensive back Ja' Den McBurrows are seen fighting in the tunnel after the game. 0:18.
Alan Haller, the director of athletics at Michigan State, and Mel Tucker, the football coach at Michigan State, announced four new suspensions on Tuesday.
The players are now suspended.
Michigan State had previously suspended several people for their involvement.
The statement from Haller and Tucker said that they are working with law enforcement and the Big Ten Conference to evaluate additional facts. Appropriate action will be taken as we learn more. The student-athletes will not be allowed to play until the investigations are complete.
There was a fight in the Michigan tunnel after the game. A group of Michigan State players attacked Ja' Den McBurrows.
A new video from ABC's tunnel camera shows a player swinging his helmet at another player. Windmon put his helmet back on before he fought Green.
Harbaugh told reporters that he can't imagine that criminal charges won't be brought against Michigan State players.
He said that there needed to be accountability. There needs to be a quick investigation. Criminal charges are likely to result from this. The videos aren't good. What happened is clear. This is not closed. Don't forget to watch the tape.
From a standpoint of being a parent, I'm coming from this. The responsibility of treating these young men like our own is something I take very seriously. In this case, an apology won't do the job. There should be consequences for people who are guilty.
