ORLANDO, Fla. — As Billy Napier addressed a sold-out crowd of Orlando Gator Boosters this past week at Full Sail University, he spoke about how he’s been studying the history of the University of Florida program since he took over as the head football coach in November.
And as Napier continued to speak and urge those hundreds of boosters to donate money to help fund the multimillion-dollar Name, Image and Likeness kitty that will go to UF football players and recruits, it struck me that he was simply hearkening back to another time in UF history.
Billy Napier has become a modern-day, above-board version of Charley Pell.
