HOOVER, Ala.–The SEC closed its annual Media Days from the Wynfrey Hotel in Hoover, Alabama on Thursday afternoon. As the final session of the day came to a close, all eyes were on Head Coach Hugh Freeze as he responds to a lawsuit from his predecessor, Houston Nutt, who coached the Rebels from the 2008 to 2011 football seasons.
The lawsuit stems from a pending NCAA investigation of Ole Miss athletics, in which Nutt claims a “false narrative” was propagated by the University. Ole Miss received a Notice of Allegations in January 2016, reporting 13 allegations of misconduct to which the University responded with a report 120 pages long.
