He has nothing to gain by willfully agreeing to appear and testify.
Only if he is absolutely certain he has nothing to hide.
And even then, I doubt any lawyer would advise him to go. It just opens him up for a whole lot more questions about whatever they choose to ask him about.
It's not a courtroom with a judge presiding deciding what questions are allowable. They can literally ask him anything they want. Not that he has to answer but why go? He's not a politician who has to run for re-election.
He knows that for any Power 5 coach, especially in the SEC, he needs to stay focused on the bottom line: wins and losses. That's the one thing he knows for certain will cost him his job. Everything else is noise. Yeah, that noise could sink him but that's why you have a lawyer to deal with that shite for you.

Exactly.
The system is stacked against the accused, never volunteer information and definitely dont do it without a legal council present, even if you're completely innocent.
