Given the source, this is obviously something that ESPN wants said. So, is this just to drive more engagement and outrage or is this ESPN's way of accomplishing something?
The week before Texas and Oklahoma joined the SEC Finebaum said Texas would never join the SEC and Oklahoma would go wherever Texas did.
He's a pile of realignment disinformation and has been all the way back to 1992.
I don't see the SEC turning away two schools in the Deep South that fit their profile so well. Miami does add a new market. But FSU gives the SEC the super majority of viewers of college sports in the state of Florida.
Clemson is a bit touchier of a subject, but not enough I think to cost them. They bring the attendance and travel crowds we look for.
I think Finebaum is putting up a ruse for the SEC taking all 7.
He has hinted many times that Notre Dame could come the SEC's way, so I don't look for that to happen, even though it certainly could.
Now if Tony Barnhardt says something you can listen. Paul likes to razz callers and he has quite a few from Clemson and a few regulars from FSU.
BTW: He also has to make it appear as though ESPN has nothing to do with it.
I wish the world could have heard his egging on of Harvey Updyke essentially telling the guy to put up or shut up on doing something to Auburn. Then he turns around and acts shocked. His ass should have been charged with Updyke's! He's nothing but a yellow journalist and muckraker.
