Lane Kiffin Calls Out Wake Forest For Canceling 2025 Game

Shortly after Ole Miss dismantled Wake Forest 40-6 in Winston-Salem, it was revealed that the Demon Deacons chose to “buy out” the remainder of the contract and cancel its game at Ole Miss next year.

On Monday, coach Lane Kiffin was not happy about the cancelation. Per On3:

“Really, a very abnormal thing for Wake [Forest] to do,” Kiffin said. “You usually don’t do that in the season before. It’s hard. There’s not people to play. It’s why you do scheduling in advance, and you make deals, and you go and play there, and they come back.

“I would just say that’s rarely ever done. I’ve never really heard of doing it, and it really puts us at a big disadvantage. And it is what it is. Obviously, it wasn’t appreciated very much to put is in that situation. And now we got to go find somebody and most people are all scheduled up. And even when you find them, you got to go pay them. So, it’s kind of an unwritten rule not to do that actually.”
