Ole Miss roasted for poorly timed tweet in wake of Freeze's departure
Ole Miss is under investigation by the NCAA for a number of violations, including Laremy Tunsil's revelation that he accepted money from a coach while at the school.
Hugh Freeze resigned as head coach last week due to a pattern of misconduct after a call was placed to an escort service on his school-issued cell phone.
Despite these two situations, the football program's Twitter account tweeted the following Thursday (since deleted, but screen-grabbed):

As one would imagine, people quickly roasted the school's tweet:

The Tunsil family may disagree

It's important that new coach Matt Luke gets support from the program and its fans, but this probably isn't the best way to do so.
