UWM's Akeem Springs takes to Twitter to express unhappiness with firing of Coach Jeter, meeting with AD
MILWAUKEE -- Granted, it was back in December, but the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers beat the Wisconsin Badgers and won 20 games -- neither of which kept UWM Coach Rob Jeter from being fired by UWM Athletic Director Amanda Braun.

While Jeter has taken the high road since his firing on March 17th, but several of his supporters have spoken out -- including one of his players.
Akeem Springs, a UWM junior, seems to be a bright, thoughtful young man. He was upset on the heels of a players' meeting with Braun, and on Monday evening, March 21st, his Twitter account backed that up.
