Paul Finebaum and many others have shared their thoughts on the public spat between Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher.

But, now that SEC spring meetings are set to open in Destin, Florida, on Tuesday, many are wondering what will come of the first in-person meeting between the 2 high-profile coaches since the war of words.

Will that be the biggest story of the week? Finebaum joined “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning” on WJOX on Tuesday and said he thinks there will be other big topics of discussion that make headlines:

“I think the question is really about future SEC scheduling,” Finebaum said. “I know everyone is making a lot out of the story that came out the other day about the SEC breaking away (from the College Football Playoff), but you and I know that’s not happening. The Jimbo-Saban story is huge, but we also know that will abate in time for the season.

“But, for those of us who love the game, we want to know what this is going to look like in a couple of years. And, when is it going to look like it? We’re so used to the way it’s been. And I think we’ll get some clarity on that. One thing to keep in mind — this is the first in-person SEC meetings since 2019, but the athletic directors meet all the time. Even during COVID, they met. There are always ongoing conversations.

“What makes this more important is that everyone is here, especially the presidents. They make the decisions. They literally run the SEC. They make the final decisions on everything on Friday. Whether or not they’ll vote on (scheduling) this week is somewhat unclear, but I think in that football room, outside of the usual complaining, the future of the league is going to be discussed.”

It should be a busy week for all involved! We’ll see what news comes out of Destin over the next few days.
