My email to ESPN for Paul Finebaum

You are either a very poor journalist or a talking troll that banters your opinions just to get pushback. For the record, I have never watched your show. I don't intend to. However, I did see a clip of your comments on Clemson and FSU having not very much to offer, if anything, to power leagues. Here is what I found in about 10 minutes of internet research. You might want to try it sometime.

Clemson: SAT: 1320, USNWR 80, Massey Rating 9
USC (not the real one): SAT:1280, USNWR 121, Massey Rating 8
Alabama: SAT:1230, USNWR: 171, Massey Rating: 18
Tennessee: SAT: 1235, USNWR 109, Massey rating: 4

If you don't know what the Massey rating is, you can find it on the internet. Type in Google (it's a search engine). In the search bar (it has the magnifying glass icon. Magnifying glasses are about as thick as yours.) Type in Massey rating. I offer these step by step instructions because, I believe you graduated form UT. (ranked 29 spots below Clemson, one of the schools with little to offer to a power league). Actually, I know you graduated from UT. I took the time to look it up.

Looks like we measure up favorably with SEC types. However, I am hoping for a Clemson to B1G (that's the Big 10 logo) move. The SEC is getting old with its final rankings not matching up with pre and season long hype from you and your colleagues at ESPN. Let's chat again when your four current top ten teams in the SEC are conspicuously absent from the elite 8 and final four.

SAT is the Scholastic Aptitude Test. I looked yours up it was an 800. Just kidding that information is protected by FERPA (look it up. See instructions above)

USNWR is U.S. News and World Report. It is a magazine that does yearly ratings of U.S. Colleges and Universities. This is the 2025 ranking.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Have a nice day.

Go Tigers!
