Unlike FSU, Akron stands up for Bell and justice

If you're looking for a school to cheer for this season, go with Akron. The Zips deserve your support more than any other team in America.

They held their first practice this week, and Brian Bell was in uniform. He's the recruit FSU abandoned at the last minute.

A social media mob accused Bell of being a racist killer and threatened to turn Tallahassee into an Off-Broadway version of Ferguson, Mo. FSU administrators knew the accusations were a joke, but they yanked the scholarship offer.

A number of Power 5 schools looked at Bell but backed off.
