Paul Finebaum previews impending demise of the NCAA: 'That's a good thing'
Paul Finebaum isn’t sweating the heat that is being cranked up on the NCAA. In fact, the SEC Network host believes it will ultimately be a good thing for the future of college athletics.
Finebaum started the week with his traditional Monday appearance on “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning.” During the discussion, Finebaum was asked about his opinion on the NCAA’s ongoing legal battle that could cost the organization billions of dollars.
That number comes from reports about the NCAA trying to settle the “House v. NCAA” lawsuit ahead of going go to court in 2025. If resolved, many expect that resolution to pave the way toward formal revenue-sharing plans with student-athletes.
According to Finebaum, those reports indicate that the NCAA is indeed coming to an end, but it’s something that should be viewed in a positive light. He pointed to the organization having a chance to adapt but opted for stubbornness instead.
“It certainly is a siren light going off that the NCAA is close to the end, and that’s a good thing. Whether players or not can recoup their money is really not the season. The reason why we’re in this mess is because of the stubbornness and the refusal of the NCAA years ago to start adapting when the landscape changed,” said Finebaum. “It doesn’t concern me one bit if the NCAA is buried. Quite frankly, I’d rather it go to court and see them brought to their knees as opposed to forcing those who can to pay off this amount of money.”

Finebaum echoed the phrase of a “seismic shift” about to occur that has been used by others to describe the current landscape. He stopped short of putting a time frame on the upheaval, but Finebaum sees it as likely to happen in the near future.
“Sometime fairly soon, the structure will be blown up and we will have a completely different system,” Finebaum explained. “And by the way, that’s not even that dramatic of a statement when you consider where we are right now.”
A potentially good sign for the SEC and Big Ten, reports indicate those two leagues have begun discussing a revenue-sharing model through their joint advisory group. Hopefully, that will help keep those two leagues ahead of the curve if — or rather when — things begin to blow up for the NCAA.
A quick google search reveals that NO ONE is talking about the “pending demise” of the NCAA. If this were actually happening ya think more people would write articles about it no?
It’s amazing that someone in Finebaum’s position would have no idea who the NCAA actually is and where the billions to pay off the House lawsuit will come form.
So true.
I can hardly wait until Pawl shuts up.

Paul, please explain how athletes who are entitled to money from tickets and television adds and billboard ads and everything else you can think of…. are going to be hauled into court and forced to split up the unpaid bills every college and conference has for creating the competition framework for a dozen sports teams, men and women? Once you figure that out you can start cutting those checks. Ya if you are entitled to profit you are sure as h responsible for losses (recognize the communist socialist disconnect in this purposeful lack of responsibility attitude? This is why America is great and a lot of other systems of “free money for everyone”, look like low rent bs.
