Tensions are high between the Florida Gators and the UCF Knights right now, as UCF AD Danny White said the schools are no longer in discussions about future non-conference football matchups.
The Gators offered the Knights a two-for-one deal, with two games in The Swamp for one in Orlando. White feels the Knights deserve more respect than that, but his refusal to take this hit has once again hurt the Knights’ future strength of schedule.
The feud between the Gators and Knights is a strange one for Florida basketball coach Mike White, who is the brother of UCF’s Danny White. On Friday, he was asked about it, and didn’t have much to say:
So @MikeWhiteUF was asked about the back-and-forth between #Gators AD and UCF AD, the latter of whom happens to be his brother. Paraquoting here: ‘Love ‘em both. No comment beyond that, I’m out of it. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year.”

Considering the position he’s in, that’s about the smartest thing Mike White could have said about the situation.
Now, let’s see if the White brothers can get the Gators and Knights to share the court in upcoming seasons, perhaps.
