U.S. District Court Judge Michael P. Mills dismissed the $40 million lawsuit filed by Ole Miss football player DeSanto Rollins against head coach Lane Kiffin and the school. The lawsuit alleged that Kiffin 'ignored' signs of Rollins struggling with depression and included claims of racial and sexual discrimination, and violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Judge Mills stated that Rollins' legal team failed to prove that Kiffin's actions were motivated by discrimination. The decision was based on the failure to provide evidence of gender or racially-based discrimination.
