MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State officials said injured receiver Dante Love probably will never play football again.

Love was hurt during the second quarter of a game Saturday night at Indiana and underwent a five-hour operation Sunday for a broken spine and an injury to his spinal cord.

The university had said after the surgery that Love could move his arms and legs.

"Due to the injury Dante sustained, his football career is expected to be over," coach Brady Hoke said Monday. "He should have normal and healthy functions for the rest of his life. He touched a lot of lives, and he will continue to do so."

I saw that play Saturday and it didn't seem all that bad at the moment. I feel bad for this young man, but fortunately, he has function in all of his limbs and will lead a normal life. Good luck to him!

Great news dor Dante Love. He played with passion and toughness that OHIO kids bring to the table. He was probably a 2nd/3rd round draft pick!
