Dantonio done with Michigan talk

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Mark Dantonio is letting Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh have the last word after Saturday’s dustup.

The Michigan State coach opened his news conference Tuesday saying he was done talking about the pregame flap when several Wolverine players on the field were caught up in the Spartans’ traditional stadium walk. Dantonio then tried to direct attention to Michigan State’s game this Saturday against Purdue.

“I’ll take no other questions about that,” he said. “Moving on to Purdue. Otherwise, this’ll be the shortest conference, and you guys all drove up here for nothing. So I’ll take questions on Purdue.”

After the incident, Michigan linebacker Devin Bush used his cleats to deface the Spartan logo at midfield. The two head coaches, and their players, traded barbs after Michigan’s 21-7 victory, then again on Sunday conference calls and at Harbaugh’s Monday news conference.

TCU: Receiver and returner KaVontae Turpin was dismissed from the team Tuesday after a second charge surfaced against him following his weekend arrest on an assault charge for an alleged altercation with his girlfriend.

Coach Gary Patterson initially suspended Turpin after the senior was arrested by Fort Worth police following an incident Saturday night. But Turpin was kicked off the team after Patterson later learned of a battery charge pending against him in New Mexico from last March.
