giovafinForum VeteranOPMUNCIE, Ind. (AP)—Dante Love may never catch another pass or play another football game at Ball State.
But the senior receiver will always have a special place in the hearts of Cardinals teammates, coaches and fans.School officials said Monday that Love is expected to live a normal, healthy life after breaking his spine and sustaining a spinal cord injury during Saturday’s game, although he’ll likely have to give up the sport that turned him into an NFL prospect.
“His football career is expected to be over,” coach Brady Hoke said. “He has touched a lot of lives and he will continue to do so.”
Ball State officials said Love could move his arms and legs after five hours of surgery early Sunday morning, an encouraging sign after Saturday’s frightening scene at Indiana.
Love was injured early in the second quarter after catching a short pass, then turned up the field and collided with Indiana cornerback Chris Adkins in front of the Hoosiers sideline.
He spent about 15 minutes on the ground before being strapped to a backboard and lifted onto a golf cart that pulled away with his parents running behind it. Initially, Love went to Bloomington Hospital before being transferred to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis

Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

It was a helmet to helmet hit. I watched it live and it was not intentional, but sadly these things happen. I just hope he had a back up plan for his life and wasnt riding on a pro football career to pay the bills.
anlgpNew Memberah yeah that's not legal. i couldn't tell.
glad he's moving around. :)
