SEC Media Days is a multi-day event that is taking place in Nashville, TN, this year. Media Days is an exciting time of the year because it is an unspoken start to the college football season. All 14 coaches from the Southeastern Conference will speak at this event; today will include Kentucky and Florida. 

Florida head coach Billy Napier was at the podium and was asked if he ever saw a future where the Georgia-Florida rivalry was a home-and-home series after their contract runs up for it being held in Jacksonville, FL. 

This was Napier's response - 

"It is an incredible rivalry. I think there's history there; there's tradition there. There's a ton of economic implications throughout these specifics. We're gonna have to cross that bridge at some point due to the renovations in Jacksonville.  But there's benefits to a home-and-home from a recruiting perspective, but I also think there is a benefit from an economic standpoint for both athletic departments and institutions."

"So, right now we have three more years of the same model, I got enough grass to mow right now so I'm gonna focus on the things in front of me."
