The charges were handed down after a lengthy investigation into the Oct. 29 incident ... where multiple MSU players were seen on video roughing up a couple Wolverines after a disappointing 29-7 loss at Michigan Stadium.
One of the videos showed Spartan players punching and kicking a UM player. Another clip appeared to show Crump swinging a helmet at Wolverines defensive back Gemon Green.

According to Green's attorney, Green suffered a concussion and other injuries in the incident.
All MSU players were suspended from the team indefinitely following the altercations.
For his part, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh was disgusted by it all afterward ... and had hoped the scuffles would result in criminal charges.
