That Clown Paul Finebaum

Is someone I normally ignore, but this comment from this morning (from McElroy and Cubelic’s show) is just flat out wrong:

“For all their football prowess, and they are the last two ACC teams to win a national championship, they don’t offer very much in anything,” Finebaum claimed. “Clemson is inferior to South Carolina as an academic institution, and then you have the same situation with Florida State. They are behind the other state schools as well as private schools in Florida, so I don’t think either one of them has much to offer, and quite frankly, I’m not sure why the Big Ten would want either one of them.”

It’s Paul Finebaum. He gets paid to discredit anyone besides the SEC. Don’t think anything of what this guy says. His opinion is irrelevant and will be forgotten about by 2030.

Literally everything he said is wrong. He is either legitimately stupid or doesnt understand what drives media deals, or both.

Not sure how he thinks we are inferior to usc academically, unless just the scope of how many majors they offer. I don't recall an academic list in the last 20 years that we were below them. Our diploma has more value and we accept slightly higher level students.

The media isn't the only arm of things where accountability is circling the drain.

ESPN supposedly represents the ACC. But not really. Threat and follow through on legal action seems justified.

Finebaum needs a raise so he can afford to buy the US News and World Report college ranking edition. The standards for admission for being admitted to Clemson are very high and the rankings reflect that. I promise you that if you ignore Finebaum, ESPN, podcasts and people paid to talk, you will be happier.

Clemson: 4.4

scar: 3.7

Cuz smart students want to go to lesser schools.

So by Finebum’s logic, scar is a superior school of learning compared to Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford, as well.

Finebaum’s ratings have been plummeting lately as the new generation died nit give him any attention. The only attention he gets these days are a few older Alabama fans. Therefore, he is trying his best to get some action. He cares less about academics anyway being an SEC homer. The SEC has the worst academics FG or athletics of any conference by far. Don’t even mention his name and let him go away. He accomplished his purpose with you. Don’t let him have that pleasure. He and Carvelle are brothers. Both the two ugliest humans on earth.😂👊

If you are of my generation, the same BS came from newspaper sports writers. Their writings drew readers which sold papers. That ESPN talking head is no different. His BlahBlah just draws listeners/readers, which then causes more blood pressure meds to be sold. It’s a racket.
