Emails: WMU Trashed UI Locker Room

Football players from Western Michigan University knocked some locker room sinks loose, broke a trophy and caused other damage after their game against the University of Idaho last month, according to emails between school officials. The damage was bad enough that Idaho Athletic Director Rob Spear billed Western Michigan $500 for cleanup and repair costs. Western Michigan beat Idaho 45-33 on Idaho's home turf Sept. 13. It was during the Broncos' victory celebration that the damage occurred, according to emails and photos The Associated Press obtained through a public records request/Rebecca Boone, Associated Press.
