A rumor was swirling around the internet Monday that Michigan State DE Robert Bowers and CB Vayante Copeland were no longer with the Spartans football team. Mark Dantonio shut down the rumor on Twitter saying that both players are still with the program:
The most recent report that V. Copeland and R. Bowers have been thrown off the team are inaccurate and has no validity. #RedLocked

Auston Robertson, a Michigan State player, was recently kicked off the team because he is facing charges of third-degree criminal sexual conduct.
