I didn't read the response. Don't care enough. However it needs to say:

A1) no public statements were made, A2) if the defendants did not publish the statements, there is a clear lack of intent on their behalf to harm RR.

B1) They did not lie. B2) Other than verbal accusations in RR's complaint, they've offered no evidence that the testimony the defendants gave to the NCAA was a lie. B3) Further, others have corroborated the story in interviews with the NCAA, but they are not being sued.

C1) No damages have been realized. No damages have been claimed. C2) You might be able to actually argue that the filing of the lawsuit has helped RR's reputation amongst Ole Miss fans and bolstered his business, which is the exact opposite of what the claim is espousing.

D1) the individuals were compelled to testify and tell the truth to the NCAA or risk losing their eligibility or their step sons eligibility. D2) in fact, lying to the NCAA would risk their eligibility. As such, they had no self incentive to lie but a very compelling and necessary incentive to tell the truth. Eligibility > RR or Ole Miss scandal(s) to the parties involved.
