Bo Schembechler The legacy of the late University of Michigan football Coach Bo Schembechler is continuing to come under attack, with the latest allegation being perhaps the most shocking. Schembechler s son Matt is joining a chorus of people alleging they told the legendary coach they had been sexually molested by university doctor Robert Anderson during examinations.

He had news he needed to share he had been sexually assaulted by the doctor that his dad, Bo Schembechler, then in the first year of what turned into an iconic career coaching the University of Michigan football team, had sent him to for a routine physical.

Christian assumed that would mean some type of technological scan followed by images on a computer screen. Then the doctor turned to pull on a pair of gloves and lubricate his finger.
