SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey expressed his disapproval of lawsuits when asked about Georgia quarterback Jaden Rashada's legal action against Florida coach Billy Napier. Sankey stated, 'I’m not a fan of lawsuits,' while acknowledging that people have the right to pursue legal grievances. The lawsuit, which also involves a Gators booster, has prompted responses from both Napier and Georgia coach Kirby Smart. Napier, speaking at the SEC Meetings, said he is 'comfortable' with his actions and confident in his legal team, though he could not comment on specifics due to ongoing litigation. The case, which has sparked an NCAA investigation and is now a federal lawsuit, centers on issues related to Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreements. Smart, who was informed by Rashada about the lawsuit a day before its filing, remarked that it is 'outside of my bubble' and emphasized his focus on his team.
