Becky Lofstead, Assistant Vice President of University Communications, said the university was able to reach some of the victims family members, and left messages for the fan who was hospitalized after the attack and his wife.

“Surgery went well, and they are hoping everything looks good,” Smith said. “The doctors just were asking ‘What did they use to do this?’ It was extremely violent. Apparently they just pushed his face (repeatedly) against the ground.”

She said West Virginia University has reached out to the family and offered any help if necessary.

“West Virginia University has been very nice in offering its assistance,” Smith said. “They want to make sure we’re OK.”

Morgantown police expect to release more information later today. Continue to monitor Patch.com for more details.

I'm sure they are much more thankful for messages left by random people than random people helping them deal with the attackers.

I think that we feel bad enough for what happened to these people. It is not to gain anything for being a good person to get into the SEC.

Shame on you. Flag on the play (your comment). Unsportsmanlike conduct.

Nice gesture by the University. I get it. All the apologies still don't erase the pure classlessness everyone has spoken of from their trips.

WVU is trying not to get sued even farther back into the stone age.

not sure WVU would have much liability unless they were on campus and it could be proved that their police were negligent in some way

Please note the classlessness of comments by many of those posting on the current topic.

It only took a guy getting his face beat in for any message from their university.

Yes, so what are you saying? If the guy would not have gotten his face bashed in or if it would have just been a fight and everyone walked off, the University would not have made a comment? You think no fights have ever happen outside of Tiger stadium after a game? Maybe it is just me missing your point on this.

It was one campus. The guy that got his head kicked in at the Dodger game is suing them for poor security.
