UPDATE:Watch Dantonio's live news conference here at 11 a.m.

Michigan State football coach Mark Dantonio is scheduled to hold a news conference at 11 a.m. Tuesday in the Spartan Stadium north end zone media center, the university announced Monday.

Dantonio has yet to take questions about his program, which concludes spring practice on Saturday, since three unnamed players and a staff member were suspended as part of an investigation into an alleged sexual assault.

The players were suspended from football-related activities and removed from university housing for an alleged incident that took place at the on-campus University Village apartments in the early morning hours of Jan. 16.

MSU has not said when the football players were suspended. One staff member – Curtis Blackwell, the program’s director of college advancement and performance – was suspended Feb. 9. That was exactly a week after the university hired an external Title IX investigator.

Dantonio broke his silence on the investigations on Feb. 28, stating in a news release that he took the allegations "very seriously."

There are currently three investigations into that situation: an ongoing criminal case, a Title IX investigation and an external probe into the football program.
