Kent State-Akron for MAC championship

[Da Coach]

In the Mid-American Conference, Kent State is scheduled to play Akron tonight for the MAC Championship. But there is a story breaking this morning...
Several Kent State players recorded and posted a music video to Snapchat titled "F*ck Akron", and it expressed their dislike (using profane and derogatory language) for Akron, located about 10 miles away.
Here is the video-

Kent State is where Geno came from.

Social media, not much good comes out of it!

It’s also still coached by Geno’s assistant Rob Senderoff, who was under a show cause order at the time stemming from the Kelvin Sampson scandal.

Senderoff has done a pretty good job. He's never had a losing season since taking over for Ford 11 years ago, and has had seven 20+ win seasons. But he's only made the NCAA once and lost the first game.

So far, they are trailing Akron tonight-
