Akron 2014 news

According to the Akron Beacon Journal, three members of the local college football program — running back Bryan Green, safety Johnny Robinson and cornerback Donte Williams — were arrested by Summit County sheriff’s deputies this past Monday.

As a result of the incident and subsequent charges, all three of the football players have been indefinitely suspended by the program. If the punitive measures were to bleed into the 2014 season, the loss of Robinson would be by far the biggest loss of the three for head coach Terry Bowden.

Jamal Marcus may be gone from Ohio State, but, as it turns out, he’s not gone from the state of Ohio.

Whether the NCAA approves the waiver remains to be seen.
