Lane Kiffin was asked about the recent efforts of the Grove Collective. The Ole Miss HC gave his thoughts on Tuesday at a press conference.
The Grove Collective raises money for Ole Miss student-athletes. It raised more than $1 million on Monday. Kiffin emphasized how encouraged he was by the collective’s efforts in raising money, likening Ole Miss to the Green Bay Packers.
The Packers’ ownership allows for fans to be shareholders of the team.
“Extremely encouraged. You guys know by covering me that I’m very real on the good, bad, and the ugly. It’s been awesome what the collective’s done, what Walker Jones has done. Ole Miss is kinda like the Gren Bay Packers of college football, especially the SEC. Not the biggest town, not the most alumni. To come together like they have makes me think of Green Bay how fans are shareholders of the team.”
It’s good to people investing in college athletics at a school like Ole Miss.
