BETRAYAL OF TRUST: Why SSU fired football coach Robby Wells

1/1/2011 UPDATE:  SAVANNAH STATE UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN DISMISSED FROM THE ROBBY WELLS LAWSUIT BY THE COURT.  MORE TO FOLLOW, AS WE SEEK A COPY OF THE DISMISSAL DOCUMENT.

Savannah State University played its final football game Saturday and ended its season with a losing record for a 12th consecutive year. The Tigers' troubles, however, extend well beyond the football field.

On Dec. 22, 2007, SSU - an institution listed among the South's historically black colleges and universities - broke tradition when Robby Wells became its first white football head coach. Barely more than two years later, Wells was gone, having resigned amid a cloud of charges and countercharges that included allegations of unethical behavior on his part and racism on the part of the university.
