TUSCALOOSA | "Team Cottrell" lead attorney Tommy Gallion has notified the Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive that unless Phillip Fulmer makes himself available to give a deposition, the University of Tennessee football coach will be served a subpoena at this week's SEC Football Media Days in Birmingham.
Gallion also requested that that Slive should "seriously consider" canceling the Alabama at Tennessee football game in Knoxville on Oct. 22.
The attorney for former Alabama assistant coaches Ronnie Cottrell and Ivy Williams in their $60 million defamation lawsuit offered to let Fulmer give his deposition at an undisclosed time and place.
Gallion said that he wrote Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton approximately a year ago asking for a convenient time and place to take the deposition. Hamilton wrote back that it was not a convenient time, but since then the deposition has not been scheduled.
Fulmer is scheduled to appear at Media Days on Thursday at the Wynfrey Hotel, along with offensive tackle Michael Munoz and linebacker Kevin Burnett, immediately after Alabama coach Mike Shula and two Crimson Tide players.
