There may be a massive murder scene in Colorado this weekend...

Norvell (CO St coach) basically said he was raised to know better than to wear a hat and glasses inside or out of respect when talking to someone. He prefaced it with a "I don't care who hears this" type comment. Obviously, Prime seems eager to continue the lesson of respect for him.

I'll bet dollars to donuts Sanders meets Norvell midfield for the pregame handshake and takes his hat and sunglasses off, not out of respect, but to taunt Norvell into saying something.

This is a strange story.  Kiffin (if this is an accurate recording) certainly lays out the "it's a job" aspect of college football.  On the legal claim I don't see a basis why a coaching staff is responsible for an athlete's mental health.  They're not medical providers.

A Mississippi football player is suing coach Lane Kiffin and the school for racial and sexual discrimination and negligence, saying he was kicked off the team during a mental health crisis.

DeSanto Rollins, a defensive tackle from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, filed the lawsuit Thursday in federal court in Oxford, Mississippi, where the school is located.

Rollins, who is Black, is seeking $10 million in compensatory damages and $30 million in punitive damages. He claims he was not supported through his depression the way white and female athletes have been at Ole Miss.

"We have not received a lawsuit," the school said Friday through spokesman Kyle Campbell. "DeSanto was never removed from the football team and remains on scholarship. In addition, he continues to have the opportunity to receive all of the resources and advantages that are afforded a student-athlete at the university."

Rollins was still listed on the Rebels' roster as of Friday.

A letter dated May 3 from the office of Rollins' attorney, Carroll Rhodes of Hazlehurst, Mississippi, was addressed to Kiffin, Mississippi Chancellor Glenn Boyce, state Attorney General Lynn Fitch and Commissioner of Higher Education Alfred Rankins and laid out Rollin's tort claims demand.

The lawsuit claims none of the defendants responded to the letter.

Rollins' playing career has been hampered by injuries, including a concussion and Achilles tendon injury in the spring and summer of 2022, that left him severely depressed, the lawsuit said.

He said nobody within the athletic department or football program provided him with direction or referrals to mental health services after his injuries.

Rollins said Kiffin and defensive line coach Randall Joyner urged him last November to enter the transfer portal, but he declined.

In January, Rollins' grandmother died and he "continued to suffer severe depression," according to the lawsuit.

In late February, Rollins was told by Kiffin that he was moving to the offense line and relegated to the scout team, the lawsuit said.

After Rollins' mother reached out to the football team's athletic trainer, Rollins was directed to psychologist Josie Nicholson. The two met on Feb. 28.

The complaint states Joyner told Rollins on March 1 that Kiffin wanted to meet with the player. Rollins had another appointment with Nicholson on March 7, the suit said, and told Nicholson he did not want to meet with Kiffin.

After repeated requests from the the football staff, Rollins met with Kiffin on March 21. Rollins says he made an audio recording of his coach berating him and kicking him off the team during that meeting.

Kiffin said playing on the team was the equivalent of having a job.

"... If I have mental issues and I'm not diminishing them, I can't not see my (expletive) boss," Kiffin said, according to the lawsuit.

"When you were told again and again the head coach needs to see you, wasn't to make you practice, wasn't to play a position you don't (expletive) want to, OK? It was to talk to you and explain to you in the real world, OK? So I don't give a (expletive) what your mom say, OK, or what you think in the real (expletive) world, you show up to work, and then you say, 'Hey, I have mental issues, I can't do anything for two weeks, but if you change my position I won't have mental issues.'"

Later in the conversation, the lawsuit claims, Rollins said: "You're acting like my issues aren't real."

Kiffin replied: "I didn't say they're not real. You show up when your head — when your boss wants to meet with you. It wouldn't have been like this. If you would've come here when you kept getting messages the head coach wants to talk to you, you say, 'I'm not ready to talk to him.'"

Kiffin then added: "Go, you're off the team. You're done. See ya."

In today's New and Improved progressive climate most acts of segregation are initiated by the parties of color.

You saying white ain't a color?

Man, that's rasis.

[FNG]

You saying white ain't a color?

Man, that's rasis.

White is the combination of all colors within the color spectrum so I guess that makes White the ultimate Inclusion and Diversity race?

That's a supreme ideal

That is light.

I don't know what you would get mixing all colors in paint, probably a mess like the former Yugoslavia, which was all white so not a good example.  Oh nevermind!

Can't decide if LSU looks really good or Miss St looks really bad.

[vegashog]

miss st. is bad. they were picked last in the west.

offensively they look like they don't have a clue.

[bigpig]

LSU is not going to dominate anyone with a pulse but they have the talent to run up the score on helpless teams.

MissSt is helpless. They made an emotional hire after Leach died. They should have made a business decision.  Remember the push for us to hire Reggie Herring in late 2007?

They look almost as bad as us during the Chad years.
