College Sports News

Zach Smith has lost his mind. The former Ohio State Buckeyes wide receivers coach, who was fired amid domestic violence allegations, has unleashed a furious Twitter tantrum on social media directed at the media. The main target for Smith is college football insider Brett McMurphy, who broke the story that head coach Urban Meyer had previous knowledge of the allegations despite previously denying any.


Southern Illinois University has banned displays of activism. Last college football season, three cheerleaders had protested during the national anthem. The protest joined a wider group of people who have taken a stance against racial inequality and social injustice.
