Golloway’s complaint names the Auburn Board of Trustees, athletics director Jay Jacobs, former chief operating officer David Benedict, senior athletics director Rich McGlynn, director of baseball operations officer Scott Duval and Auburn baseball administrator Jeremy Roberts as defendants in the matter of Golloway’s termination on Sept. 27, 2015.

In a statement from the Auburn University public relations department, the university still claims Golloway “

“Coach Golloway knowingly and repeatedly broke Auburn and NCAA rules, including an attempt to destroy evidence of his violations,” the university statement reads. “We appreciated his coaching skills, but his actions left us no choice but to dismiss him from his position. He now seems to be using legal action in an attempt to divert attention away from his own misconduct."

“This suit is an attempt to shakedown Auburn University,” Jacob said in a written statement. “Instead of recognizing that he broke the rules, Sunny instead lashes out and attacks many members of the Auburn family. It’s sad that it has come to this but principle and decency require us not to give in. Sunny has still not come to terms with the seriousness of his violations and the reason he was terminated with cause in the first place. Instead of attacking others, it would be better if Sunny reflected on his own actions.”
