Tragedy hit the family of Tennessee freshman Zakai Zeigler and Vols fans stepped in to help them out. Per Barstool Sports...

quote:
...it came out during UT's game against Georgia on Tuesday night that Zeigler's family lost their home in New York to a fire. Immediately, Tennessee fans wanted to mobilize Vol Twitter to help. Zeigler and UT put out a link to a GoFundMe at 3 p.m. on Wednesday and within an hour, the $50,000 goal had already been met. As of Thursday morning, the page had raised more than $340,000.

Impressive. That’s 300k more than Ole Miss fans would raise.

this certainly is a great story and I feel for this guy and his family, but since we're talking cold hard cash - isn't this what insurance is for?

Unless you have a mortgage, most states don't legally obligate you to have homeowners insurance. And then there is insurance on the contents. Most people in this country don't have coverage that will replace the house and contents.

He is not. He plays a lot, but he comes off the bench. The kid is a great story though. LINK
