Paul Finebaum is being particularly unforgiving towards the NCAA after the Trinidad Chambliss courtroom saga brought out the worst in them.
After thrashing their legal team as "one of the worst" he has ever seen, Finebaum shifted his focus on bashing the NCAA. And you know it only got more brutal from there.
The SEC mouthpiece couldn't believe how the NCAA botched Chambliss's case from day one, and then some by bailing on the hearing even before Judge Whitwell had delivered his verdict.
Paul Finebaum can't tolerate the NCAA's tactics
It was unheard of, and that is exactly what set off Finebaum.
“Why the NCAA was so arrogant and haughty and simply wrong in the way they handled it, I’ll never know. Because — I guess I do know, because they have gotten away with such activity for so long and being strong-armed. And, this time, they finally got called on it," Finebaum said on McElroy on Cubelic.
Even Judge Robert Whitwell tore them a new one threatening a soon-coming show-cause order to see why the defense lawyers should not be held in contempt of court.
"That's not how we do things here," Whitwell added.
Back to Finebaum, he cleared the air on another hot topic that Chambliss haters are using to defend the NCAA: the judge being a Mississippi native and Ole MIss alum.
Finebaum's final word: doesn't matter, NCAA deserved it.
“It went the right way because the NCAA was shown to be completely fraudulent and biased in this courtroom,” Finebaum said. “I know a lot of people will say, ‘Well, it was a hometown court.’ It doesn’t matter to me if the judge was dressed in an Eli Manning jersey and kept saying ‘Hotty Toddy’ every time he hit the gavel — it was the right ruling based on what the facts of the case were."
“I don’t think this case really will impact anything else, but it was the right call. On top of that, it’s a significant moment for the Ole Miss Rebels because they are a much better team today with Trinidad Chambliss," Finebaum concluded.
Every Rebel fan is seeing red just as much as Finebaum when it comes to the NCAA in Chambliss's case.
Just now, they have better, more thrilling things to rather focus on, like the chance to see Chambliss back in action on Saturdays, and another possible historic CFP run.
