Avast ye scurvy dogs! DeSanto "DeSanto the Bold" Rollins, a hearty member of the Ole Miss Buccaneers football crew, be seekin' a chest of 40 million doubloons from the school 'n Lane Kiffin! He claims they be feedin' his anxiety, arrr!
An Ole Miss football player named DeSanto Rollins has filed a lawsuit against coach Lane Kiffin and the school, claiming that they are responsible for his declining mental health. Rollins alleges that Kiffin, members of the coaching staff, and other university employees showed reckless disregard for his anxiety, and he is seeking $40 million in damages. The university has stated that they have not received the lawsuit and that Rollins is still on the team, receiving all the resources and advantages afforded to a student-athlete. Rollins suffered two injuries in 2022, which led to severe depression and limited his ability to perform daily activities. He claims that he was not referred for a mental health evaluation and that the school and football program failed to provide him with proper mental health education. The lawsuit also alleges that Kiffin forced Rollins to practice with a knee injury. Additionally, Rollins experienced depression, anxiety, and other negative emotions after being told to transfer by a defensive line coach and being demoted to the scout team by Kiffin. Kiffin allegedly became hostile and verbally threatening towards Rollins, worsening his mental state. The lawsuit further accuses Kiffin of verbally assaulting Rollins in a meeting and ultimately kicking him off the team for requesting a mental health break. The suit claims that Kiffin has treated white football players and other athletes differently in similar situations. As a result of these experiences, Rollins now suffers from migraines, heart palpitations, and severe depression. Rollins had appeared in a few games in the past two years.
