2. Famous Ball State grad accused
Fox Sports' Jason Whitlock is being called racist after an insensitive tweet about New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin.
Lin is one of the few Asian Americans in the NBA. Whitlock played football at Warren Central High School and graduated from Ball State in 1990. The controversial Foxsports.com personality, who hosts a podcast entitled "Real Talk," has since apologized after pressure from the Asian American Journalists Association.

Jeremy Lin is incredible. Lin has scored more points in his first five NBA starts than any other player since the ABA-NBA merger..oh, and he hit the game winning shot in Tuesday night's match against the Toronto Raptors. You can call him Lin-derella.
