Ole Miss building thousands of factory-made dorm rooms to meet housing demand
SUMMARY: The University of Mississippi is addressing a surge in enrollment and a housing shortage by partnering with Greystar to build approximately 2,700 modular dorm beds by 2027. This public-private partnership, approved by the Board of Trustees, allows factory-built units from Modern Living Solutions to be assembled on campus, reducing costs and speeding construction. Located on former Kincannon Hall and West Row sites, the new housing will include suites, dining facilities, and parking garages. The initiative aims to improve student living options while involving local subcontractors for over 70% of on-site work, supporting the state’s economy and student experience.

Lane Kiffin trolls Hugh Freeze after Ole Miss beats Auburn for four-star commit
SUMMARY: Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin playfully trolled Auburn coach Hugh Freeze on social media after Ole Miss secured four-star tight end JC Anderson’s commitment. Kiffin, known for humorous recruiting jabs, highlighted his team’s recruiting win over Freeze’s Auburn. Freeze, former Ole Miss coach (2013-16), resigned amid scandals and now leads Auburn while recovering from prostate cancer. Kiffin has since elevated Ole Miss with a 44-18 record, five straight bowl appearances, and historic recruiting wins like edge rusher Landon Barnes over Ohio State. Ole Miss opens the 2025 season Aug. 31 with new quarterback Austin Simmons aiming to build on recent success.
