GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida coach Billy Napier and two co-defendants on Tuesday filed motions to dismiss quarterback Jaden Rashada’s lawsuit regarding a failed name, image and likeness deal worth nearly $14 million. Napier, Florida booster/automotive technology businessman Hugh Hathcock and Marcus Castro-Walker, the program’s former director of player engagement, asked a U.S. District Court in Pensacola to dismiss the complaint. Napier’s attorney, Hank Coxe III of the Bedell Firm in Jacksonville, argued in a 29-page response that facts are “sorely lacking from the complaint.” “Nothing alleged in the complaint supports the notion that Napier participated in any wrongdoing,” Coxe wrote. “Nowhere does the complaint adequately allege, for example, that Napier knew about whatever occurred between Rashada, his ‘NIL agents’ and the Gator Collective, LLC.

Gov. Josh Shapiro on Tuesday said his administration won’t defend in court a state law that prohibits state Medicaid funding from being used on abortion. “Pennsylvania’s Constitution prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex — and as our State Supreme Court ruled earlier this year, the state ban on Medicaid coverage for abortion services is sex-based discrimination,” Shapiro said in a statement. “Following that ruling, today I am filing notice with Commonwealth Court stating clearly: the current ban imposes an unsustainable burden on women, and therefore violates our State Constitution. My Administration will not defend this ban in court.”
