Georgia coach Kirby Smart says he would back the SEC pursuing its own rules if national standards can’t be agreed upon, signaling a potential breakaway for college football. The comments come amid SEC meetings on governance, with discussions framed by frustration over transfer oversight and NIL concerns, and the stalled SCORE Act as Senate talks linger toward national standards or conference-led rules as a last resort, per SEC commissioner Greg Sankey.

The Disney-DeSantis Feud: Lawsuits and Dismissals

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is seeking immunity from a lawsuit filed by Disney World, which accuses him of retaliating against the company for expressing opposition to his "Don't Say Gay" bill. DeSantis signed a law that revoked Disney's ability to self-govern its 25,000-acre site in Orlando. Disney claims the move was in response to their criticism of the bill. DeSantis' attorneys argue that Disney's claims fail as a matter of law and are asking for the case to be dismissed. The lawsuit alleges that DeSantis' actions were unconstitutional and retaliatory. A federal judge will decide whether to grant DeSantis immunity from the lawsuit.

DeSantis has pushed to strip Walt Disney World's self-governing privileges, arguing that it goes against being "pro-business."
