DESTIN, FLA. – College football players like to play for championships. They like the chance to win a ring, win some bling.
When there is no hope, then what happens?
Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze is about to find out.
Because of NCAA violations, Ole Miss has self-imposed a bowl ban. No chance for postseason play. No chance for a warm-weather trip. No chance to potentially beat up on another conference.
So how does Freeze motivate his Rebels?
“I think that’s one of the greatest challenges I’ll have in my career and I’m looking forward to it in a weird kind of way,” Freeze said Tuesday at the SEC spring meetings.
