Allegations against Griz football players surface

Two University of Montana football players have been implicated by three Missoula men in the assault of a fellow student.

Trumaine Johnson and Andrew Swink, who were both missing from Montana’s first game against Western State this fall, allegedly assaulted UM student Grady McCarthy after an altercation during a party at the Sigma Nu fraternity in March.

McCarthy, 20, said he was leaving the party when he got into a fight with an unidentified man. The fight was broken up and McCarthy said he made his way outside while the man went inside. McCarthy said three men came back outside of the house, and he was struck.

“One of them hit me and knocked me on the ground,” McCarthy said. Once he was on the ground, the men proceeded to kick him, knocking him unconscious, he said. . . .

Hauck builds wall of silence

The most recent allegations by a student against two University of Montana football players are disturbing, sickening, alarming. It is the third consecutive fall that the program has been accused of vicious off-the-field transgressions against UM students.

It is very important to remember that these are allegations and nothing more. They remain allegations because Bobby Hauck preempts accountability with his wall of silence.

The most frustrating detail of this case is that Hauck and the accused players have given the public no reason to believe that the allegations aren’t true. When a Kaimin reporter asked Hauck to clarify the issue on Tuesday, the seventh-year head coach hurled an obscenity at him and threatened to boycott the Kaimin for the rest of the season.

If George Dennison or Richard Drake or any other administrative figure on this campus had done this, they would be stepping on grounds of serious disciplinary action, no matter how agitated they were. . . .

A history of violence

If the allegations against Johnson and Swink are true, they will represent the tenth and eleventh players to be connected to a pattern of violent crime that has plagued the University of Montana football team for the past two years. . . .

and this was just last season......3 Football players charged with Felony Assault

Hauck's silence condones their actions; reflection of leadership since it continues to happen. so sad.
