Ole Miss player badly injured during practice, sounds terrible

During Monday’s practice, an Ole Miss player suffered a serious injury. According to Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin, freshman tight end Damarcus Thomas was injured, and a helicopter was on its way to take him to the hospital for medical attention.

Per Rebels247’s David Johnson, Kiffin noted that Thomas hadn’t moved since suffering the injury. At the time, the team was still waiting on a helicopter to arrive so that he could be taken to a hospital.

Johnson also tweeted that Thomas' family was notified of his injury immediately. Kiffin also told the media that he called the mother of his own son to tell her that he no longer cares whether their son ever plays football again after watching what just happened to Thomas.

Edit: I looked it up and apparently schools are outright prohibited from awarding multi-year athletic scholarships, just lmao
You might've read that wrong, schools have been allowed to offer four-year scholarships since 2012 and at some point after that the P5 schools agreed not to cancel anyone's multi-year scholarship for on-field performance (idk how strictly that's enforced). They can also continue scholarships for guys whose careers are ended with injuries without counting them against the scholarship limits (at the wealthiest programs this can actually be used to politely wash out guys who just aren't performing.)

Beat Bama six times in a row, '02-'07, including Saban's Year Zero, then got clobbered 36-0 IIRC on his way out the door in '08 after the Tony Franklin Experience. Had to explain this a few times to people who don't know much about football but wanted to know cause of the election and settled on: on balance, you can't say he wasn't successful at Auburn but given factors like the general nature of the program as the unknowable imp of college football, the Arkansas/Jimmy Sexton bullshit and his post-Auburn record unimpeachably validating the decision to part ways* that national observers who weren't paying enough attention considered a little hasty, there is zero love lost.

* fired? kinda -- termed a resignation but kept his buyout; supposedly was given the opportunity to keep his job if he would have cleaned house on the offensive staff that had been pretty stagnant since like '02 when Jimbo Fisher departed as OC. Was long rumored that he was set on keeping an underperforming staff together until their Alabama state pensions were fully vested. That staff included Steve Ensminger and Eddie Gran.
