Another election has passed us, and it has been another disappointment for all of America.

Athletics Director Ron Mason didn’t only dismiss MSU’s football coach when he fired Bobby Williams on Monday; he fired a quarter of the black head coaches in Division I-A college football. That’s because Williams was only one of four blacks among the 117 head coaches in the top tier of the game. So no one should be surprised to see questions about race arising out of the ashes of MSU’s nearly dismantled football program. MSU Trustee Joel Ferguson, who is black, was quick to come to Williams’ defense Monday, claiming the university is doing a disservice to its diversity efforts by not giving the coach the same opportunities his predecessors had to improve the football program. “Since I have been an adult, MSU has had a reputation for fairness to minorities,” Ferguson said.
