Spurrier, who won a national championship as a coach of the Gators in 1996, tied in Bett for the decision to spit a Bulls player.
“We thought that our defense could sustain them, but then he had that stupid penalty of spit that has become fashion,” Spurrier said in the “noticed podcast of Anthony Doolyy.” “I think he saw the NFL boy do it and said: ‘I can do it.’ I hope not.
Spurrier made a reference to the defensive lin of the Philadelphia Eagles, Jalen Carter, spit to the Marshal of the Dallas Cowboys, Dak Prescott, during his confrontation on Thursday night to start the regular NFL season.

The current chief coach of Florida, Bill Napier, said that Bett apologized for his actions and would face “internal discipline” for his actions.
“The child is repentant,” Napier said. “He feels that he disappointed the team. In general, he was out of place for him. He made a mistake and committed the team. He made a selfish decision. He misrepresented our fans, our former students, the university.
“When a young man enters his office and his immediate concern is how he did not represent this place in the right way, I think it is a good indication of his attitude towards him.”
Bett also offered an apology, even Lin Cole Skinner.
“I want to sinitely apologize for my actions in the game last Saturday,” Bett wrote in social media publications. “I let my teammates, coaches, relatives and the entire Nation of Gator. Our coaches always instill the value of sportsmanship, and I crossed the line. I also want to apologize to the south of Florida.

“That is not the person or player who efforts to be. I made a terrible mistake and will not happen again.”
